Some questions, in no particular order:

Is your mail server (or ISP) running a Junk filter? You seem to be using
something called iCritical, which appears to be a virus and spam filter.

Are you running some other client in parallel to Evo?

Are you using POP or IMAP? If it's IMAP, what do you see when you look
at the the inbox with a different client, e.g. Thunderbird?

Before disabling your Junk filter, which one were you using? If it was
Spamassassin, this has been known to leave "spamd" processes lying
around even after Evo terminates. Do a "pgrep -fl spamd" to check.

And last but not least: what version of Evo do you have?
