I seem to have possibly figured out a workaround... 1) move all the mail in the non-new-mail-displaying folder to a newly created folder 2) delete the old folder 3) quit Evolution 4) % killev 5) % killev 6) % killev ; echo "Just playing overkill." 7) Start Evolution again 8) Rename the newly created folder to the old folder, update filter rules, and voila! New mail is now shown. Oddly enough, I did this for the initial problem folder, and it seems to have solved the problem with a couple of other folders...
