Wondering if it's simply "not showing" read messages (in the same way that you can "hide" messages flagged for deletion, but not yet expunged). Have a look through your display/filtering options. The other thing is, perhaps, how your message lists are sorted. If you remove a message, you may end up with evolution re-arranging the order it lists things in. Evolution has a lot of quirks/annoyances, though I persevere with it for being the least-worst client I've tried. Most clients, that I've experimented with, fail the absolute basics, such as being able to reply without mangling the quoted text in horrible ways. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.19.8-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Tue May 12 17:42:35 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
