Just as another datapoint, upgraded to 2.23.90 from ubuntu repositories and I'm having the same problem.
Comment 4 Srinivasa Ragavan 2008-08-19 07:54:19 UTC 
Can you delete your ~/.evolution/mail/vfolder/vfolders.db and restart Evolution?

I think, I know the problem, when mails are deleted, they aren't removed from the vfolder db.

Important patch

This is important, and can cause mail data to be lost. It may continue to have "?" after that. The only way to get over is to edit the mbox files and manually delete the From headers :(

Comment 9 Srinivasa Ragavan 2008-08-19 16:34:49 UTC
