I press button "Send/Receive" and I get a messagebox telling:
============================================================
Error while performing operation.

Cannot get message: 1 from folder /home/baptiste/.evolution/mail/local/Outbox
  The folder appears to be irrecoverably corrupted.

I discovered I had 2 messages in Outbox dated of Sunday 17th I already sent. I don't known why there were back.

I delete them and I restarted evo, and I had this warning in the statusbar:
============================================================
Error while Storing folder 'Outbox'.

Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync
============================================================

Bapiste: 2.23.90 ? 

if not, can you open

sqlite3 ~/.evolution/mail/local/folders.db
delete from folders where folder_name="Outbox";
drop table Outbox;

This should recover your folder. Possible that it was broken before due to older disk summary builds
