I can confirm this bug in Evolution 2.26.1 on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope.
The following procedure consistently triggers the bug:
(1) Create a subfolder in "Inbox"
(2) Copy several messages into the new folder
(3) Rename the folder
(4) Delete a single email from the renamed folder
Expected Result:
One email has been deleted from the folder.
Observed Result:
All except one email have been deleted from the folder.
The remaining email is usually the newest one. Note that
the emails are simply gone, they don't show up in "Trash"
either.
Importance:
CRITICAL.
<rant>
I lost 7.5 years of university-related emails yesterday, due to
this bug. Gone. Everything. Because I decided to rename a
folder. I've never been so happy that I keep regular backups.
There's no way that this bug is of medium importance. This
stuff is simply not supposed to happen.
