sry, I try to clarify this :)
I have three accounts. The main account is my Exchange Server account,
which uses EWS. Besides that I have two IMAP accounts with two external
providers. One of them works as expected, the other one behaves strange.
And yes, of course Outlook is using HTTPS for the Exchange account, but
I configured a second account in Outlook with IMAP using the same
settings as the evolution IMAP account that is beahving strange.

I followed that proposal, but it didn't help.
Again I got a new mail notification and I have "INBOX (1)", but no
message in the list in the right upper pane.

Besides that, the mail cache obiously is the place, where the open
folder hierarchy is stored, because all folders in my really huge
Exchange mailbox were collapsed after deleting the cache. And I got
numerous notifications for new mails in all of the Exchange mailbox
folders.
