After playing with it a bit, it looks like it will try to reopen
the IMAP mailbox in your next session if you had it open in your
last session, regardless of where you were when you closed Evolution
last.  I'd rather it only ask for my password when I try to access
the IMAP folder, since the reason I don't store my password is that
sometimes I don't want to check it.

I just posted another bug report describing what I think would
be the best behavior here.
