I have the same issue in Natty, though I dont recall renaming any
folders.

The mails from evolution are now stored in ./local/share/evolution, so be sure to make a backup of that folder before you do anything else. 
I've tried renaming the Inbox file as suggested in #12, but that did not solve the problem. 

If anybody has a clue as to how to get my emails back that would be much
appreciated!

Title:
  evolution deletes all e-mails in a folder after renaming

Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evolution

  Evolution 2.26.1-0ubuntu2
  Ubuntu 9.04
  One of my mailfolders contained many e-mails and its name was no longer appropriate for its contents.
  So I renamed the folder and added some subfolders to it. After this all the e-mails in this main folder were still shown in the right hand half of the evolution window.
  Then I dragged one e-mail  from this main folder into one of the new subfolders. To my despair all the other e-mails simply disappeared from this main folder! They are not  hidden or in the trashbin either so I lost all this information. 
  E-mails in other folders are still there.
