In addition to what Patrick said, that error looks like it has come
from the server, not Evolution (Evolution will just be reporting what
the server says).  Try running Evolution from the command line,
possibly with IMAP IO debugging turned on.

So you can see the emails in the webmail client but when you try and
delete them in webmail it says they don't exist?  Try clearing the
cache in your browser, and if it's still a problem then it points to a 
problem with the mail server.  Is it a big ISP or a small local company
(or a personal mail server)?  Can you get access to the IMAP server
logs?
