Please reply to the list, not to me directly. Ctrl-L in evolution will
do the correct thing.

The "Match All" should show all the emails, not just unread ones. Make
sure the contents of the search bar directly above the message list is
correct - the "Show:" dropdown should read "All Messages" and not
"Unread Messages" and the "Search:" should be empty (clear it with the
icon to the right of the bar).
