Are these all at the same level or do they form a hierarchy?

First of all you need to say if these are local folders or not, i.e. are
they on the user's machine or on a mail server?

If they're on an IMAP server, you may be able to recover them by doing
Folder->Subscriptions and checking the boxes.

If they are local, see if they still exist somewhere in the ~/.evolution
directory, in which case you may be able to import them (File->Import).

Also, when asking a question about Evolution, please state which version
you are using (see Help->About).
