By "files" I assume you mean messages?

Yes I mean messages.

"local folders"?  So you local folders disappeared as well as your IMAP
folders.

Yes, evo was busy with updating the IMAP stuff, so I don't know if they would 
be visible
when the IMAP searching was completed.

Downgrading is a risky affair.  If you kept your config I'd wager it
won't work.

The big problem is that .evolution is a link to my AFS-backed up folder. An 
when not actively keeping the AFS 
ticket current (timeout around 24 hours) evo gets into problems since no 
backups can be written. With newer 
versions of evo (2.32.2-1) there are a lot of things happening like copying 
stuff from .evolution to .local and 
removing several directories etc. I think the problems comes from that 
.evolution is a link (timing out) 
and .~/.local/share/evolution/ is a local directory confusing evo. I don't have 
this setup on other computers.

This seems like a connectivity issue.  Try running evolution like -

CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG=1 evolution.

And see what it says? 

The debug output is showing all mails downloaded from the mail server (a lot of 
data).

Can you telnet to port 143 of your IMAP server?

Yes, I can connect to the mail server
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK The Microsoft Exchange IMAP4 service is ready.
