I am not sure what you mean by your Inbox being tied to a POP3 account.
Are you using an Exchange server?
I also use POP3w to download my mail from a server. Under your local
directory do you have a file called folders.db. If so oyu might tey
processing iit with the following script:
cd ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local
for i in `find . -name folders.db`
do
echo "Rebuilding Table $i"
sqlite3 $i "vacuum;"
done
