You mean, it still displayed them in the OTHER instance of Evo, right?
The one you were working in was up to date?

Well, I'm still waiting for the answers to my questions.  If you click
the "Send/Receive" button, does your inbox update then?

If you exit Evo and re-enter it, does your inbox update then?

As I mentioned in my last message, I do see similar behavior to yours:
when I get home, my inbox on my Evo instance there is in some
semi-updated state.  Most new email is present but so is a lot of stuff
I deleted during the day.

I click "Send/Receive" and it is all fixed for me (with a few minor
glitches).

You might try going to Edit -> Preferences, Mail Accounts, edit your
Exchange account, and look at the "Receiving Options" tab.  There are
some options there for syncing your inbox.  I have them all unchecked
and I haven't played with them to see how they work with Exchange, but
my advice would be to try those.
