I had the same issue with Evolution 3.2.1, and solved deleting the file
folders.db inside
~/.local/share/evolution/mail/1295611670.31535.6@cvs28.

So now the folders.db is no more in evolution/mail/imap, but in
evolution/mail/GUID.

Title:
  folders.db gets out of sync with mail server

Status in The Evolution Mail & Calendaring Tool:
  Confirmed
Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evolution

  Evolution stores local information about IMAP server directories in
  ~/.evolution/mail/imap/<server name>/folders.db

  This file will frequently get corrupted and out of sync with the real
  number of messages in the folders on the server. Doing a
  "Send/Receive" does NOT correct the problem, nor does actually viewing
  the contents of the folder - e.g. the folder count will show 2 unread
  messages, when opening the folder shows no messages at all, and even
  after opening the folder the count will show 2 unread messages.

  Again: neither expunging the directory, closing and restarting
  Evolution, nor doing a send and receive will clear the erroneous
  counts.

  Shutting down Evolution, deleting the folders.db file, and restarting
  Evolution will clear the problem.

  NOTE: Unlike some of the other bug reports, no error messages are
  presented to the user in this case.

  Steps to reproduce:
  Given a working IMAP setup with Evolution, update all folders, then kill evolution (e.g. killall -KILL evolution).

  Expected results:
  Upon restart Evolution should rebuild the counts in all the folders.

  Actual results
  Evolution shows bogus counts on many (but not all) folders.

  Reproducibility: High, if not every time.
