I just ran Evolution from the command line: pascal@Sabayon:~$ evolution Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "globalmenu-plugin" Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "globalmenu-plugin" (evolution:22688): evolution-mail-WARNING **: Failed to refresh folder: folder://1369085697.6783.3%40Sabayon/'Synced%20Messages': Error refreshing folder: STATUS Mailbox name(s) contains invalid characters Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 9: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated. ** (evolution:22688): WARNING **: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.Notifications.MaxNotificationsExceeded: Exceeded maximum number of notifications The message about invalid characters might point to the underlying question, but that is just a guess. I do not have folder with special characters, or numbers or whatever, just plain letters. > https://projects.gnome.org/evolution/bugs.shtml > > and get a debug log using CAMEL_DEBUG=all - this will give you all the > IMAP chatter and you should be able to see what's going on.

Has anything changed with that recently? That behavior is the same over all IMAP-servers I'm using: Gmail, Yahoo-Mail, GMX-Mail, mailserver of my local LUG. As far as I know nothing has changed.
