The EVOLUTION software appears NEVER to have been fixed.
However, NORMAL DB OPERATIONS SEEM TO HAVE WORKED.
So, one must wonder WHY the normal "empty trash" did NOT work.

I did SOMETHING LIKE:

cd .evolution/mail/local
sqlite3 folders.db
 .output stdout
 .tables trash                                                              ## 
showing precise name of trash TABLE
 select count(*)  from '[name of trash table]' ;          ## to verify it 
contained 3000+ items
 delete               from '[name of trash table]'  ;          ## to empty the 
trash
 select count(*) from '[name of trash table]'  ;          ## to verify it was 
now empty
 .quit

to delete the Trash. 
It felt very dangerous but seems to have worked.
