        Hi,
if I got it right, then the information in the message list, the part
above (or on the left of) the message preview, shows different Subject,
Sender,... columns, than the message preview itself. Is it it?

It's pretty unlikely that a change in evolution-data-server 3.20.5
would cause anything like that.

The message list is populated from associated
~/.cache/evolution/mail/<imap-account>/folders.db
file, which is an SQLite3 database, containing one table for each
folder. You can drop the Inbox table and start evolution to have the
content re-downloaded. The command would look like:

   $ sqlite3 ~/.cache/evolution/mail/<imap-account>/folders.db \
       "DROP TABLE Inbox"

Then drop also the stored messages in the local cache, which is located
in ~/.cache/evolution/mail/<imap-account>/folders/INBOX/cur, thus run

   $ rm -r ~/.cache/evolution/mail/<imap-account>/folders/INBOX/cur

Once you have that, run evolution with IMAPx debugging on:

   $ CAMEL_DEBUG=imapx:io evolution &>log.txt

which will store communication between the server and the evolution to
the log.txt file. You will see message headers there. Verify in the UI
whether the message list content matches the message content. If there
is anything failing, pick one of the messages with a unique Subject and
search the log file for it. If the UID of the message doesn't match,
then it can be it and the server sends wrong data again.
        Bye,
        Milan
