I can confirm this in Gutsy, using evolution 2.12.0-0ubuntu5
inotifywatch in ~/.evolution shows activity in mail/views: albert@ubuntu:~/.evolution$ inotifywatch -r * Establishing watches... Finished establishing watches, now collecting statistics. total modify close_write open moved_from moved_to create filename 1692 282 282 282 282 282 282 mail/views/
