I threw Evolution under the bus when for some odd reason it started 
"filtering"  most of my incoming email messages sticking them into it's 
junk folder.  At about the same time Evolution seemed to lose track of 
messages it had already downloaded and kept downloading the same 
messages over and over again. Thunderbird just worked.
