Thanks for your reply :)   ( answered this right away, but by mistake sent it only to Milan)

Version: Evolution 2.24.3
Account type: POP3
Junk Folder: empty
"On This Computer" folder: empty (although it does of course contain all my other folders, which themselves 
have mail in them)
"Inbox" folder: contains old mail (transferred from my previous computer), but no new mail.
I do not know what it means to "run evolution from console".

Where should I look next?
