Hi,
it seems your local folder summary got corrupted for some reason (I do
not recall when I saw anything similar the last time). You can let
evolution re-download the whole summary, it's just a copy of the
server data, when you delete it from the disk. The file with the
summary is stored at:
~/.cache/evolution/mail/<imapx-account-uid>/folders.db
It's an SQLite database, and you can eventually delete only the table
of the name of the affected folder, but if you never played with SQL
as such then a remove of the folders.db file is the easiest way. Of
course, the next start evolution will download summary information for
all your folders, thus if you have many messages, then it'll take its
time.
Bye,
Milan
