Not very helpful, but still: I observe a similar condition where the status bar will show two activities „Pinging server“ and „Checking for new mail“ that don’t seem to stop. This happens after letting evolution run for a while, without any obvious cause. I can still work normally in most folders, but new messages in the INBOX would not appear until I quit and restart evolution – it seems that one or two of the IMAP connections are blocked. I do not need to remove any files to get back to working with evolution, though. Evolution 3.2.2-1 on Debian, Dovecot Server, using IMAP+.
