Yours 3.38.3-1 is very old, I do not recall whether there was anything specific for your issue fixed between all the months (the 3.38.3 had been released at the beginning of the 2021). I see something related to the IMAP subscriptions landed in 3.38.4, but whether it's related I do not know. > When I try to manage subscriptions, they all appear under the Inbox > rather than peer to it. As far as I can tell, what you see is what the server advertises. Some servers can succeed with the move, but then reject the operation internally. [John - when I look at the folder structure using the provider's web mail, the folders are peer to the Inbox rather than underneath it.] When you remove ~/.cache/evolution/mail/<imap-account-uid> , then the next start of Evolution the cache will be re-populated from scratch, which means it can fix any inconsistencies in the local cache. It also mean the account data will be all downloaded again, which can take time and will use the network bandwidth. [John - I have tried that. I've also completely uninstalled, purged, and deleted every hidden file I could find including the .cache/evolution folder.] I'm not sure whether your problem is the folder position relative to the Inbox or the folders not being shown at all. You can set whether you want to see only subscribed folders in the account Properties-> Receiving Options tab. When you disable "Show only subscribed folders" you'll see all the folders advertised by the server. [John - the folders are not showing at all. The reason why I mentioned the position relative to the Inbox is that the Evolution manual explicitly says that having folder with subfolders and messages under the Inbox can be a problem with Evolution - in fact, it seems like this problem where they are not displayed. It recommends placing them at the top level of the account, i.e., peer to the Inbox. However, Evolution does not allow me to do that. For example, I tried creating a new folder directly under the account into which I could move all these folders but, after creation, it shows up under the Inbox. I have tried setting Receive options to show only subscribed and to show all. Whenever I do either of those, the folders appear and then disappear.] > Error fetching message: unknown body response It looks like the server is returning something the IMAPx code cannot decode. It would worth to test this with a more recent version. The Flathub.org version is the easiest way how to get the latest stable version without influencing the host machine. It has its downsides too, but at least for testing of the newer version, or when there's no other option how to get to the latest version, it's perfectly sufficient.
