The setup is simple: I run a single instance of Evolution and no other email clients on any device. Evolution has 4 active accounts: * Local (On this computer) * IMAP (imap.mail.att.net) * IMAP (imap.gmail.com) * Search Folders The message in question arrived from imap.mail.att.net and was transferred by a filter to a Local folder. I was able to display the message (as I wrote in my original message); after about 5 minutes it disappeared; then after about half an hour it reappeared. The problem happens infrequently, say about once a month, and typically lasts a while, anywhere from 5 minutes to a couple of hours.
