Check the search bar above the mailing list for a lingering search term,
and also that the combo box to the left of it says "All Messages".

Sometimes it's not obvious that you're looking at search results and/or

This is a long-standing usability issue with Evolution which I hope to
correct one of these days.  Been trying to get around to it for years.
