Can't read my messages in Evolution

I'm having a huge issue using Evolution. When I click on a message in the list, it doesn't show up in the reading pane: the pane shows a different message that I read a long time ago and won't change. When I click to open the message in a new window, it shows up blank. Basically, I can't read my mail at all, even if I wait until later or reboot. What happened?
Take a look in ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/
If everything there is OK, that will probably relax you. You can backup all Evolution's informations data by copying ~/.local/share/evolution/ somewhere else.
Evolution's configuration is stored in ~/.config/evolution/ (~/.config/evolution/mail for the mails). You *might* want to erase that for a fresh start. Although, if I were you, I would wait for the advice of more users: maybe someone had the exact same problem and solve it.
Thanks. I think I may be on the way to figuring out the cause of the problem.
I managed to get my messages readable again by clicking the "-" button on the message that was stuck in the reading pane, then "+" again. Then I was able to select and read other messages again.
I reproduced the problem later by opening a certain message that got "stuck" in the reading pane again. Turns out it's Facebook messages causing it, I think. Since these are HTML messages with a lot of images embedded, I'm guessing something in the message causes a focus glitch in Evolution?
