Thank you. I found the file and made the changes you suggested and rebooted my machine. It didn't work the way I want it to, meaning that [Gmail] is still a subfolder under my email-account, containing all of my gmail-folders (which in GMail technically are labels, not real folders, as far as I understand). Thunderbird has its own implementation of Gmail-style IMAP. You can read about it here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-gmail For now I'll return to Thunderbird. Evolution is a nice piece of software, and I wanted to use it because it integrates well with Gnome, but in the end I am too used to my workflow using Thunderbird. Thanks everyone who responded for your help.
