Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

I recently reinstalled ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop.  On December 23, I was
consolidating files on my system, using cp -auv from prior backups to
get my most recent settings etc. into my home directory  from several
different backups. I may have overwritten something, although the more
recent settings should have been preserved.  From that time on, almost
all messages downloaded from the pop3 server are not "hidden", but are
not shown, either.

I have 1700+ messages in my Inbox, all correctly downloaded from my pop3
server, and "properties" on the Inbox tab gives the right number, but
evolution only sees 2, and they seem to be random (same sender, no diff
from others I can see).  There are no filters on the box.
Hiding/showing deleted, hidden or read messages makes no difference.
Removing bogofilter made no difference, same with adding spamassassin.
Expunging makes no difference.  I can send a new message to myself, and
upon receipt back from the server, it will immediately join the other
invisible messages--it is there, but evolution never displays it.

Blowing away .gonf/apps/evolution and .evolution will cause the all
messages to be re-downloaded, but strangely, it doesn't ask for my new
password/account info.  Likewise if I delete the account in evolution
and recreate it, it doesn't re-prompt for passwords.  None of these
actions solve the issue.  Any idea what is going on?
