Hi,
it sounds to me like either some kind of filter being applied to you
folder or some kind of a folder summary corruption. When you run
evolution from a console, does it claim anything when you enter the
folder? Is the Search->Clear menu item active when you are in the
GMail's Inbox? Anything else than "All Messages" being set in the Show
combo box above the message list? What if you let evolution fetch your
IMAP information for GMail from scratch, by moving away
~/.local/share/evolution/mail/imap/<gmail-account>
folder? I would rather move it away than deleting, just in case. Make
sure evolution will not be running when playing with its internal files.
Hope that helps,
Milan
