Is it along the lines of "we've hacked into your camera and got the pictures. Pay us or we'll make them public."

Neither. It's the internal account UUID of where the mail is stored. It's never exposed to the outside world and is only present when you view the mail in Evolution. That exact same string will be present in all emails on that account. If you look in ~/.cache/evolution/mail you will see the same strings. > Looking at sent mails that format is used on outgoing mail, is it also > used on incoming as well.? > I'm trying to determine if who ever is spoofing my email address has > got the computer name from mail I've sent to someone or a list, or from > this laptop with malware, but I haven't found anything. > Hence asking those with an expert knowledge of how evolution handle > mail. As I said, neither. It's an internal identifier added by Evolution - it's not even stored in the cached email, it's added by Evolution on the fly as it displays the mail.
