What sort of account are you talking about?  POP, IMAP, EWS, Gmail, ...

Are they local folders or remote?  Have you run evolution from the
command line?  Anything significant? 

Have you run it with debugging messages enabled? What is it doing when
it shows that message?

The messages in the bottom bar of the evolution window shows which
folders are being looked at - do the messages show that it is looking
at unsubscribed folders?

BTW as far as I can see Evolution IMAP only plays with subscribed
folders and leaves others untouched. But I can't comment on other
account types.
