Yep - I have seen this numerous times. It usually occurs for me when Evo
has not been able to complete the writes of it's working files, either
due to a sudden shutdown, or a full disk partition. If you had a problem
with a full disk partition, be sure to free up space before proceeding.

The fix (standard disclaimers: backup first, be careful etc.) is to shut
down Evolution, then remove Inbox.cmeta, Inbox.ev-summary,
Inbox.ibex.index, Inbox.ibex.index.data.

The location of these files will vary depending on your version of
Evolution - for 2.0.4, they are in ~/.evolution/mail/local

Once removed, restart Evolution. It will re-create all the removed files
from the Inbox file. Depending on the size of your inbox, this could
take a while.

Cheers, Ben
