You SOLVED THE PROBLEM when you suggested to "then close evolution and delete its local cache from ~/.cache/evoluton/mail/<account-uid>/" Once I deleted the cache files you suggested, the other email accounts started working correctly as IMAP.
Your suggestion also explains why all email accounts would work as IMAP on a totally new install of evolution 3.30.1-1build1 but would not work on existing installations. Thank you again for your help. John
