Hello Andre Thank you for replying. 1. What is the exact error message? Please, see attached 2. Is this an IMAP account? Yes, as per Subject 3. Which "certain folders"? These are folders I have created. I have subsequently noticed that this is ANY folder where I have used a "&" in the name. So I have fixed it for me by simply (via a browser) replacing folders in my google account that have a "&" with a "+" and then trying to create a new folder with the new name in Evolution, which it eventually rejects and changes the old automatically. This is NOT a good solution: a. If there are a lot of folders it can take a long time b. It is a backward step, as it was an allowed character in the past. c. It makes filling difficult when using, for instance, the name of a company and that company spells its name with a "&". Then it may become difficult to find. 4. Normal inbox subfolders? Or something like Drafts? No. Folders I created. 5. Which own folders? As above. Seems that the folders Evolution created were/are part names of folders with the "&" character.
So, for me, this has moved on, but the problem still remains. I have merely created a short term quick fix, but the problem is still there. Kindest regards Jonathan Encs.
