I'm not sure that the names that aren't folders problem is causing any of the 
problems I'm seeing.  While such names don't appear in the folder list on the 
left pane, I also have plenty of ordinary folders that aren't appearing.  And 
the "ghost" folders, along with their children, do show up in the Folder| 
subscription dialogue.

evolution seems to insist on showing only subscribed folders, even when I 
disable the "show only subscribed folders option."

Since the ghost folders aren't folders, there is no way I can subscribe to 
them.  So if I wanted to see only subscribed folders, that might create a 
problem.

I was able to start up evo under the debugger on the system that's having 
problems, and this time it worked.  Yay!

I put future breakpoints on camel_store_supports_subscriptions, and (following 
the location of the patches you provided)  imap4_build_folder_info.  I also 
put one on  imap_build_folder_info (a wild guess).

Unfortunately none of these were hit when evo started up and was deciding what 
to show.  I did hit the camel_store_support_subscriptions when I opened the 
Folders | subscriptions dialogue.

I tried creating an "IMAP" type account.  This did hit imap_build_folder_info, 
and it did show all my folders (including ghosts).  Performance seems pretty 
good.

I'm going to stop for now, while I'm ahead.
