The issue regarding loosing data on a change in history retention seems pretty bad.. I opened a bug upstream. Anyone who has this issue should provide more details upstream.

Evolution decided to change my personal options. The option under "receiving options - message storage" was changed to: delete after 7 days. I LOST thousands of email. I can not access any of my email anymore from remote location via the web interface. This really sucks. This is very very very bad written code. It caused me a lot of problems.
