[Hardy] Evolution doesn't display correct email total in folder column

[JD]

Binary package hint: evolution

After deleting with say, 415 emails from my inbox; the left hand column of Evolution Mail displays 17 emails left and in the list it shows none. I've attached a screenshot.

Thanks for your report, is this reproducible everytime? Can you tell us a few easy steps in order to trigger this? thanks.

As described in the previous comments, your report lacks the information we need to investigate the problem further. We'll close this report for now - please reopen it if you can give us the missing information.

I had the same issue in the spring. It seemed to go away by mid to late summer. Now that I have updated to Intrepid, Evolution 2.24.1, it is back.

I am using the exchange back end. This problem cannot be fixed with the Send/Receive button, nor by highlighting different folders and coming back. It just seems to fix itself after hours. When new messages arrive, the incorrect counts just increment, i.e. if there are ten false "unreads" and 6 real ones, and 2 new ones arrive the folder increments from 16 to 18. The title bar and taskbar counts seem to be accurate.

Screen shot attached.
