I doubt it. There's nothing wrong with this structure in principle.
However you still haven't answered my earlier question, which I now
modify slightly, i.e. did you remove:

~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox/Inbox.sbd/OpenSuSe.ibex.index and
~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox/Inbox.sbd/OpenSuSe.ev-summary ?

In fact I'd suggest doing it globally, just to be sure:

1) Stop Evo (evolution --force-shutdown)
2) Run:
        find ~/.evolution | egrep ".ev-summary\|.ibex.index" | xargs rm
        -f
        (copy the above line exactly)
3) Restart Evo

That will remove all indexes so Evo will recreate them.
