        Hi,
that's some RFC "standard". Allows quickly resynchronize folder
changes, instead of asking for flags of all messages. The IMAPx can
sometimes get out of sync, thus it's currently off by default.

If its CAPABILITIES response contains something like QRESYNC, then yes.

Similar. It covers NOTIFY extension as well (when NOTIFY is part of
CAPABILITIES response). The 3.22.5 eds has a fix for NOTIFY [1].

IDLE is for one folder only, NOTIFY is for any. Inbox for IDLE is
usually preferred.

Yes, it can use it, but it doesn't need it (unless the server
disconnects for inactivity before the 30 minute interval, which is
suggested by the IMAP 4rev1 RFC).

Mostly. I'd use also ~/.local/share/evolution/. See
https://help.gnome.org/users/evolution/stable/data-storage.html.en
Though File->Backup/Restore settings is designed for one time config
synchronization.
