Can you access your mail on the server using some other method - such
as webmail? Are the messages on the server?

Purging usually refers to deleted messages - are the messages you are
looking for marked as deleted?  (I have had users who use "delete" to
mean "I've seen and dealt with that" - confused me greatly and they got
stressed when their "deleted" messages were purged.)

All I can say is that under normal circumstances Evolution appears to
take great care of your messages.  Certainly I've never known it to
delete things without asking first.
