Your mail is still there. Check in ~/.evolution/mail/local to be sure (I
assume we're talking about local mail though you don't say so).

This is a known bug which has bitten some people but not others (I've
been lucky). Check the recent archives of this list for more
information. Note that the Unread count might be wrong though; that's
another bug.
