Ok, it also happened to a second folder. To clarify these are real
folder were message get moved to by a filter. But other folders work ok.
So the folders are empty but next to the folder name in brackets the
number of unread messages is noted. If a new message filtered/moved to
this folder is received the message and all the messages (sender,
subject, date) which had been in that folder before are shown.
The content of the new message is displayed alright but selecting
another one, shows
Nachricht 12030 konnte nicht aus
Ordner /home/x/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox.sbd/xorg abgerufen werden
Nachricht existiert nicht
Translation: Message 12030 could not be retrieved from folder …. Message
does not exist.
$ du ~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox.sbd/xorg
12 .evolution/mail/local/Inbox.sbd/xorg
Looking at the file, there are only two messages in there, although
there should be over 400. :(
If I delete the newly received message or select one of the old messages
the overview is updated and only those two are shown.
So it looks like they are gone for good. :( If anyone finds a solution
to get the messages back (without backup :)) or a reason how those mbox
files could have been deleted, that would be nice.

The NEWS.Debian you wrote about in your other reply file should mention
this as soon as possible. Even better, put in a break in the upgrade
process displaying a big fat warning to give users not reading
NEWS.Debian before or not taking this seriously a chance to make a
backup.
Thanks,
Paul
