Inbox shows no messages - inbox is not empty

I have a similar problem.

My work laptop runs XP and Ubuntu (formerly Feisty, now Gutsy). My work emails are on an MS Exchange 2003 server.

Until recently, I could read, send and file emails using either Outlook under XP, or Evolution with Ubuntu.

Since updating to Gutsy, some emails which are visible in my inbox under Outlook are not visible under Evolution (Gutsy). The "missing" emails are, however, visible if I look in my inbox using MS WebAccess (either under XP or Ubuntu).

I am not certain, but it seems that the "missing" emails are those which I have read and deleted (only on handheld) on my Blackberry.

All emails are still visible from my home pc, which is still running Feisty.

Wierd !

I have dual OS(xp and evolution), after I archive my exchange inbox in outlook and then boot into linux for evolution, it also shows an empty inbox.

I also have this problem.
Only a few of the latest messages show up.
New messages does NOT always show up,
not even after refresh or restart, but may show up later.

Regular browser web access to exchange shows all emails.

I just made a fresh gutsy install. I'm using the evolution-exchange to connect to my exchange inbox. For me the exchange inbox started showing empty very shortly after I had configured my account. I cleared avay my ~/.evolution directory and this made the messages in inbox visible again, but they disappeared again (probably upon the first new mail check?). After this I only cleared the ~/.evolution/mail/exchange directory and so far the messages in my inbox have remained visible.

A day after, the inbox view got out of sync again. This time the complete inbox did not disappear. Instead, just some newly arrived mails remained invisible. After clearing ~/.evolution/mail/exchange the inbox was again in sync (compared to e.g. OWA with browser).

Same thing happened to me on my Dell Optiplex GX110 running Ubuntu 7.1.

Showed an item count but Inbox was emtpy. No filters were in use. Still empty after deleting all search folders except Unmatched. I noticed however that the search folders had the emails that should have been in the Inbox. So I created a new Search Folder that was set to match everything and all my emails appeared in it, with the unmatched becoming empty. I then copied the emails back into my inbox.

Hopefully this work around may help someone troubleshoot. I suspect the problem is in some way linked to the search folders programming.

Confirmed on Packard bell with Ubuntu 7.10 and Evolution 2.12.1 (in Italian). Exchange is Windows Server 2003 R2.
This is very bad because make Ubuntu not usable for me.

Known upstream you can track it here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=435371

This bug is also present in 9.10 this proclude the use of evolution and ubuntu in a entreprise setting.
