Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

hi there,

a really strange bug occured to me for the very first time.

what is was doing: using evolution to fetch email via pop3
what happened: evolution displayed all fetched email in the inbox, but: the 
email content shown, both in preview and full view does not match with the 
"from", "subject", "date" information shown in the respective inbox columns. to 
make sure, i switched the full view to include headers which confirmed the 
problem.

i'm sorting my inbox by newest email first.
the mismatch occurs in the manner, that the newest mail received has correct 
match, but the content of this newest mail is also the content of the second 
newest, which already has different sender/subject/date. all following (older, 
that is) email's contents are "shifted" to the next oldest email in the inbox.

example: newest email sender/subject is gmx spam report, 2nd newest
email sender/subject is ubuntuforums post notification, 3rd newest email
sender/subject is some ebay info. now the actual email contents are:
newest email gmx spam report, 2nd newest gmx spam report, 3rd newest
ubuntuforums post notification, and so on.

one guess i have is that, before fetching mail today, i had one mail in
my inbox which was still marked as unread. this email has not been
fetched twice, but it's exactly this email's sender/subject/date that
now occurs twice for two email with different content - one of the
original content, and one with "shifted" content.
