Thank you both, this fixed the issue. Looking back at my log post I see the "folders.db" file shown just before the error message. Even though there seem to be "..if not exist create.." statements even if I was sure it would be re-created I would not deleted it because I do not know the data it contains or if it is just an index file of the existing folders in Evolution. Is there a place to find out technical information on Evolution?
I have used Outlook with Sendmail as a back-end. When Outlook has a size problem or indexing problem a recovery, if any, is only partially successful. Evolution has been working great since I started to use it and this full recovery of all emails, folders, rules, etc. has me sold on Evolution. This bug has been resolved for me.
