Thanks for a bug report. This seems to be related to a transition to XDG directory layout compliance. New messages and such are stored in ~/.local/share/evolution, but the restore process created them in ~/.evolution. There might be done an initial migration from ~/.evolution to ~/.local/..., but it's done on start only, and it doesn't rewrite already created folders, so it doesn't move your older mails where they should be. I filled this upstream as [1], because it's not fedora specific. Please see [1] for any further updates. [1] https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=628852
