Sorry,  forgot to change from my default evolution email account to the
email registered with the list.  One of the few inconveniences of
having multiple emails addresses in a single client.  If only evolution
would pick the correct email to respond as...

Evolution starts cleanly at the command line.  Sitting in the inbox for
the account I want to search via the search bar.

Show:   All Messages  Search:  <Keyword>  in Current Account

Regards of the type of keyword -- something from the subject line or an
email address, I end up with 3 copies of the matches.

Simple case, I registered for a merchant account which offers a gateway
to their services named Lucy.  As a result of registration I have 1
email with a user guide pdf and 1 email with support information.

Using lucy as the keyword, I get 3 copies of the user guide email, 3
copies of the support information email and 2 copies of a credit card
receipt sent from the lucy gateway service.   All are shown to be in
the same location. Each message type has the same timestamp for the
type (user doc shows Mon 15:55 x 3, support info shows Mon 10:18 x 3
and receipt shows  01/25/2019 01:29 x 2)

I've checked the headers and the body of the emails and don't find
any correlation in the number of copies and the number of uses of the
keyword in the emails in question.

In the course of writing this email, I've read another 2 dozen that
arrived, responded to 8, added 4 calendar events and added/edited 6
contacts and still no errors showing in the terminal where I started 
evolution.
