Title:
  Evolution fails to show IMAP folder "Inbox".  It only shows the bogus
  empty folder "INBOX" (all caps)

Status in evolution package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In my workplace, I access email 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 bogus "INBOX" (all-caps).

  This bug occurs 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:
  1. 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.

  2. The OpenSuse live Gnome image mentioned in www.gnome.org/getting-
  gnome/ fails to load the X server within Virtualbox.  Then I wrote it
  to a pen drive and booted it, but I had network problems with live
  Gnome.
