The email provider doesn't do it. I've debugged IMAP and the log file
shows that Evolution creates the 'archive' folder and its sub-folders
right after that:

the log doesn't show any time stamps.)

Yes, I did that and before that, the folder used to be called 'archive'.
However, I have other users on a different IMAP server who probably have
never set an archive folder and they also have the problem that emails
are archived. That makes it difficult for them to find their emails. I
tried it turn it off for them and checked the settings but it still
happens.

Thank you very much for the detailed instructions! The other users are
using fresh installs of evolution, so I can as well make a bug report
right away.
I haven't found any better client than Evolution. The only alternative
would be Thunderbird, but Thunderbird is excrutiatingly slow and has its
own quirks.
I'll see if I can make a bug report ...
