I've experienced the phenomenon described in the initial bug report.
Ubuntu 12.04
$ apt-cache policy evolution
evolution:
Installed: 3.2.3-0ubuntu6
Candidate: 3.2.3-0ubuntu6
Version table:
*** 3.2.3-0ubuntu6 0
500 http://mirror.umd.edu/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
The IMAP server involved is dovecot running on a Ubuntu 12.04 server.
The version of dovecot is 2.0.19-0ubuntu2.
My account was set to use IMAP+ so IMAP+ is not in and of itself a
solution to the problem.
I believe that what happens is that some changes on the server can cause
evolution to get into a bad state. In my case, I renamed some folders
directly in the dovecot filesystem store. I may have carelessly left
evolution connected while I did this. At any rate, at some point
evolution stopped listing my subfolders. If I went into the preferences
for this account and clicked "Apply", even without changing anything,
this would trigger something which made evolution detect the subfolders
and list them. However, exiting evolution and starting it again would
bring the problem back: I'd get my Inbox but nothing else until I
triggered again the discovery of the subfolders by going into the
preferences.
I eventually switched my account from IMAP+ to IMAP... and the problem
disappeared. Why? I don't know. I switched back to IMAP+ and the problem
did not come back.
