I have the same issue in Natty, though I dont recall renaming any folders. The mails from evolution are now stored in ./local/share/evolution, so be sure to make a backup of that folder before you do anything else. I've tried renaming the Inbox file as suggested in #12, but that did not solve the problem.
If anybody has a clue as to how to get my emails back that would be much appreciated! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/397980 Title: evolution deletes all e-mails in a folder after renaming Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: evolution Evolution 2.26.1-0ubuntu2 Ubuntu 9.04 One of my mailfolders contained many e-mails and its name was no longer appropriate for its contents. So I renamed the folder and added some subfolders to it. After this all the e-mails in this main folder were still shown in the right hand half of the evolution window. Then I dragged one e-mail from this main folder into one of the new subfolders. To my despair all the other e-mails simply disappeared from this main folder! They are not hidden or in the trashbin either so I lost all this information. E-mails in other folders are still there.
