Hi, as far as I can tell, depending on the account type, evolution doesn't overwrite files with messages it already downloaded (it does that for mbox, but not for Maildir or IMAP), thus the chance to have corrupted message itself in "good accounts" is minimal. Any corruption in such accounts mostly depends on the file system itself (caches not flushed to the disk when the power off happened and so on), from my point of view. The folder summary (folders.db files) is a different story and it also depends on the actual account type, because with some accounts they can be removed, which will cause their fresh rebuild, but it sometimes can mean losing labels, follow up flags and such, especially with the On This Computer accounts, because those do not have this information stored anywhere else. You can run evolution from a terminal and see whether it claims anything there. It is able to recover from some of the issues on its own, though not all. It will surely tell you if anything goes wrong.
