None of the "delete cache/database" ideas help, and this is not an Exchange-related Inbox (it's my local Inbox, served by locally by Fetchmail using IMAP). After deleting the caches/database, Evolution now crashes while writing these.
I think the Inbox file itself is somehow corrupt, and I need a way to figure out how (i.e. an Inbox parsing utility). Note that I'm seeing email in the Inbox up to about a year ago... all subsequent email are in the Inbox, but Evolution doesn't show them.
