So a little update on the subject.
The error recreation.
When setting up a new imap account using the "Evolution Mail
Configuration Assistant" (on a gmail account for me) if the checkbox
"Show Only Subscribed Folders" is checked the resulting folder tree
contains the notorious unnamed folder. Otherwise everything works great.
The workaround.
I had a lot of things set up, including calendar items, tasks, contacts,
a lot of downloaded mail so deleting the entire configuration folder was
not an option. But luckily after a lot of testing on a scrap account I
found out the following. The problem goes away if one just deletes the
.ev-store-summary file.
The procedure
1. Edit the problematic account.
2. Make sure the "Show Only Subscribed Folders" checkbox on Receiving Options
tab is NOT checked.
3. Close Evolution.
4. Delete the file ~/.evolution/mail/imap/{your_account}/.ev-store-summary file.
5. Restart Evolution.
For me that did it.
Hell... I could even re-enable the aforementioned checkbox without a problem.
P.S. From what I figure this file contains some form of folder structure. I
DON'T KNOW IF IT HAS OTHER USES.
BACKUP!!!!!
