I suspect you're using a Courier IMAP server, which expects IMAP clients
to implement the "NAMESPACE" IMAP extension [1].  It thought Evolution's
IMAP backend handled that, but I might be wrong, or it might be broken.

Any chance I could get a temporary guest account on that server for the
purpose of Evolution testing?  (Reply privately if so, please.)
