The problem still persists, with the evolution that come with Ubuntu 10.04.

If you want to trigger it, it's quite easy. Create a "mail account" which is a local mbox folder, which point to a local directory with a couple of mbox files. Then, open one of the files. Exit evolution, and after evolution has exited feed the mboxes via fetchmail/procmail. Restart evolution. You have around 15% probability to see the bug (it happens to me once every 5-7 restarts).

Issuing evolution --force-shutdown, and removing the folders.db file from the directory will solve the problem and at the next restart is all ok. It seems that no mail is lost.
