You never mentioned an error message before. What is the exact message?

Perhaps this will help you:
http://library.gnome.org/users/evolution/3.2/mail-error-folder-mismatch.html.en

(If possible, please reply inline below the answers you get (rather than

list, and it's very difficult to follow conversations if people use
different rules when replying. Thanks.)

Best,
