Yes, but that isn't the problem. [Well, not so bad]. Becasue...

   I would not say in parallel. I used the OWA web mail a bit in the
last week or two since this problem hit. I can see emails in there which
evolution hides. I also tried thunderbird and see the same enlarged
list.

   IMAP. See above

    2.24.2 (From Fedora 10 standard latest-version.)
    Ah yes - there was an update on the 12 and I report problems on the
15th. It was probably going from 2.24.2.2 to 2.24.2.3 which set it off.
Does that make it a Fedora issue? 
   It remains true - if I could ever see my junk at all this would not
be (much of) an issue. But it just disppears from view.
