I will do this when I got back to that machine.
Maybe with debug options etc.

It does not show the folder structure of the account on the left side
menu, only saying "Loading folders" for a very long time.

I am sure evolution scans unsubscribed folders, and thats different from
the older version. I can see the open files from the imap processes on
the server side, and this are for example the archive files from 2009.
Furthermore the load is extremely high since I use this new version of
evolution.

And I have seen message counts for example in the "Folder Subscription"
Window, so evolution definitly looks into those unsubscribed folders.
