[Bug 1504665] [NEW] Evolution fails to show Imap folder "Inbox". It only shows the unexisting grayed-out empty folder "INBOX" (all caps)

 

Public bug reported:

In my workplace, email is accessible via IMAP.  The default mail client
is Thunderbird (Windows).  Thunderbird on Ubuntu does work correctly.  I
wanted though to use Evolution.  However, evolution fails to show Inbox.
Instead of Inbox it shows an empty, grayed-out "INBOX" (all-caps).

This happens both on a fully updated installation of 15.04, and on a
fully updated installation of 15.10 (I installed it in a Virtualbox VM
and updated it with apt).

I have tried to reproduce it with Evolution 3.18, but:
- The OpenSuse live Gnome image mentioned in www.gnome.org/getting-gnome/ fails to load the X server within Virtualbox.
- In Fedora 23 Beta live (in Virtualbox), Evolution fails to connect to the IMAP server.  I then tried to install Fedora 23 Beta to disk (within Virtualbox) but Anaconda crashed every time I tried.
