I thought I was making progress, but I made things worse.

I had one Folder Inbox which showed things I had recently put there.  I
tried to create folders with the old names without the _sbd, and when I
did so, at first, those folders showed up with the proper contents.  But
as I continue to do so, the contents didn't show up and the contents of
the other folders disappeared.  The folders still exist
in .local/share/evolution/mail/local
but evolution can't see them any longer.

Help!  How to I get all this to work again?
