Is local mail cached?  For IMAP mail, here's what I'd do:

$ acct=me\ haggis
$ evolution --force-shutdown
$ rm -rf ~/.evolution/mail/imap/${acct}/folders/INBOX

Next time I open a folder on an IMAP server, Evo will re-cache what
is necessary.

Why jobs are being out-sourced to 2nd & 3rd world nations: Unions
and Liberalism.
Unions for a general raising of wages, and Liberalism for the
creation of The Nanny State, which creates a *relatively* high
minimum wage, and *lots* of well meaning regulations that drive
up employment costs.
Lastly, Unions, Liberalism and it's offspring "the Me Generation"
have destroyed the educational system, at the same time that 2nd
& 3rd world nations are pumping out millions of highly educated
people who can live like princes on a fraction of US or Western
European wages.
