% ls .evolution/mail/local/Inbox*
.evolution/mail/local/Inbox        .evolution/mail/local/Inbox.ev-summary       
.evolution/mail/local/Inbox.ibex.index
.evolution/mail/local/Inbox.cmeta  .evolution/mail/local/Inbox.ev-summary-meta  
.evolution/mail/local/Inbox.ibex.index.data

Assuming you completely stopped Evo before deleting the files (using
"evolution --force-shutdown") and then restarted it after deleting them,
it should work. However in an earlier message you reported errors such
as:

        (evolution:6481): camel-local-provider-WARNING **: Didn't get the next
        message where I expected (196440720) got 196443297 instead
        
I suppose it's possible that your mbox files are actually corrupted. One
way to check is with the 'formail' program (part of the 'procmail'
package), which can clean up certain kinds of errors in mbox files.

Expunge works only on the current folder. Empty Trash works on all
folders in the current account.
