Firstly, did the database cleanup have any effect on the "no such
table" message? You didn't say.

I went back and read your original message. I hadn't noticed that the
problem is related to a Gmail account. Two things come to mind:

1) Check (using the Gmail web interface) that the folders are enabled
for IMAP using the "Show in IMAP" box for each label under
Settings/Labels. And of course make sure the folders are subscribed to
from Evolution (I know you said they were, but check).

2) Was your account configured using Google Online Accounts? If not,
you might want to reconfigure it, i.e. delete the account from Evo and
re-create it using GOA.
