The situation is rather worse than I had thought. I've submitted a long
comment to bug 653957
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=653957
A summary of the problems follows; there's more info in the comment to
the bug report.
I created the folder fred. It appeared to be created in local only; nothing
showed up in local_mbox, though it did show up in evolution's folder list.
While deleting the mail folder fred, this message appeared in a red error
panel:
Error while Storing folder 'fred'.
Cannot open maildir directory path:
/home/jonrysh/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/.fred: No such file or
directory
The mail folder was deleted.
The folder mackay was converted from the 2.26.x version to the 3.0.x version.
While moving a message from mail folder "Sent" to mail folder "mackay", this
message appeared in a red error panel:
Error while Moving messages to
'maildir:/home/jonrysh/.local/share/evolution/mail/local#mackay
Cannot transfer message to destination folder: No such file or
directory
The message was not moved.
If messages are copied from a newly created folder (not "converted), to an old
("converted") folder, the Sender: field is lost. That is, the Sender field
appears as blank when the message is displayed.
If there is a filter on outgoing mail which requires a message to be refiled
into a "converted" folder, evolution crashes. (The original crash report is an
example of this.) However if the folder is newly created (not "converted") the
sending process hangs, and the message is never sent.
