        Hi,
the POP accounts store the mails under the On This Computer. The On
This Computer/Junk folder is a virtual folder, gathering messages
marked as junk from the other On This Computer folders. Depending on
View->Show Deleted/Junk Messages menu options you can view those in
their original folders.

By "Empty Junk", do you mean the same named context menu option shown
above the Junk folder? It "only" marks messages as deleted (and read)
and saves the changes. The folder expunge is not run (because it could
delete all messages marked for deletion in the affected folders), you
need to Empty Trash manually afterwards.

In case this is not due to the Show Deleted Messages (which you'd
notice, because those messages are drawn differently), I suggest you
run Evolution from a terminal, to see whether it claims any related
error there. Maybe the folders.db file is somehow broken on the
affected machine.
        Bye,
