Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

I have a shell script which automatically deletes read bulk email from
my mbox-format mailbox periodically, to avoid it filling up, like this:

grepmail -q -v -j r bulkmail > bulkmail.new

(This is something that Thunderbird can do automatically, but Evolution
can't, hence my use of the shell script.)

However whilst Evolution shows the correct list of messages in my bulk
folder, the content of the messages that it displays when you click on a
message in that list is wrong.  It is showing old emails that have long
since been deleted.  I am using imapx protocol.

I understand that the suggested fix for this bug may be "don't do that",
but it would also affect those who use a command line mail reader like
mutt to access their mailboxes when they are away from Evolution (as I
also do).

Here is some debugging stuff that I get after clicking a message, though
it doesn't look very useful:
