[rhelv6-list] Evolution folder corruption

Since moving to RHEL6 I've run into an odd "malformation" problem with
Evolution in one of its sub-folders. If there are any Evolution gurus
out there, please look at this and advise the best way to recover. (BTW,
I'm using Evolution 2.28.3.)

The folder in question is:
On This Computer
    Inbox
        Mail Lists
            Red Hat
                Fedora-test-list (14)

Even though there are now 14 unread messages in that folder (plus a ton
of read messages), I cannot access any of them because:



I've tried copying the ~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox.sbd/Mail
Lists.sbd/Red Hat.sbd/Fedora-test-list mbox-type file to
~/Fedora-test-list, deleting the folder in Evolution, stopping
Evolution, deleting all of the Fedora-test-list* companion files in the
~/.evolution/ tree, and restarting Evolution. I re-created a
Fedora-test-list folder and imported the saved ~/Fedora-test-list file.

Whatever is causing this "database disk image malformation" must still
be lurking because my fix doesn't last.

Suggestions?
