Hello Sebastien,
       I' using an exchange account.

When I click on the email, for a fraction of a second I can see the
following message appear in the main windows:

Unable to retrieve message
Message has been deleted

I've checked my .xession-errors but no log entry is done when the problem
occurs.

I've not checked gnome bug tracking system, if you want I can have a
look.

Thanks
