"labels which are basically folders",  I'll accept that for the sake of
this discussion.  But it is not true.

I'm not sure what "the transferring part" is.

Exit evolution.
Go to a command line [GNOME Terminal].
Execute "evolution --force-shutdown"
Execute "CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG=1 evolution"

It should start and be very chatty in the terminal window about what it
is actually doing.  Maybe that will tell you something.  But it is most
likely a configuration error or a bad password.

No, I have multiple accounts.  No issues.
