OK, kept on playing with the files and got the problem go away. The Outbox folder looked empty, but the Outbox file itself had all messages since about September last year in it (54 MB to be precise).
-rw------- 1 54379156 2007-04-20 21:18 Outbox -rw-r--r-- 1 124 2007-04-20 21:18 Outbox.cmeta -rw------- 1 63806 2007-04-20 21:18 Outbox.ev-summary -rw------- 1 345088 2007-04-20 19:34 Outbox.ibex.index -rw------- 1 292504 2007-04-20 19:34 Outbox.ibex.index.data I concatenated it and restarted Evolution. Sent a message, and killed Evolution with -9. Restarted it. The first time round it did resend the messages sent since last restart, but stopped thereafter, even after kill -9. I assume it automagically healed those index pointer files after the first round or something? Looks like you do not move data across files but only rearrange pointers to it, and if something goes haywire due to disk overflow or other reasons, strange things may happen in other folders as well? I'd think that whenever Evolution thinks that Outbox is empty (i.e. sending the messages was successful to all items found in there), it should be safe to concatenate the related file, too? Would fix this problem once and forever, maybe? I hope these messages give enough clues to you guys to figure out the inner details. One humble request: for messages with multiple image attachments, how about "View all attached images inline" option as one of the available options?
