Choose to «View deleted messages» in evolution. Do you now see those
missing mails which were only on webmail?
Expunge the folder. Do they disappear from webmail?


I had a similar experience with Exchange, I guess the same happens with
Office 365. It turned out to be:

a) Evolution moving mails with Copy + Delete [1]
b) Exchange webmail and MS Outlook connector ignoring the «deleted» flag
from those messages.

Thus all mails which were moved to other folders using IMAP, stayed
inside the INBOX inside Webmail, like ghosts not present in evolution.
The \Deleted flag only affected to IMAP. :(

1- Actually evolution supports rfc6851 MOVE extension [2] but the
Exchange server doesn't.
