so, why the string "test" is shown in the search field on the account
level, though I never entered it on this level?
I entered it on the INBOX level, deleted it there afterwards, went to
the account level and there this string was shown.

Ah, I just red Milan's latest mail - maybe this is the bug he mentioned.

Yes, that seems to be logical.

No, I don't have any expectations when using software :))

I disabled it -> no success.
I deleted and recreated it -> no success.
Only thing I didn't try was to rename it or delete and recreate it with
a different name. I will try that.

Already tried that with my own account renaming all the existing
evolution folders in .cache and .config. No success.

Whats more: Switching folders within that account sometimes crashes
evolution:

kernel: evolution[1693]: segfault at 57cf056c ip 00007f65b5dbcaeb sp
