Hi,
did evolution version changed? Which was it?
You can try to remove
~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/folders.db
which will cause evolution to rescan the folders.
Note that directories of the Maildir structure start with a dot, thus
for example On This Computer/Drafts in UI corresponds to
~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/.Drafts/
Regular directories (those without leading dot) can be a leftover from
the mbox era.
There is also special file:
~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/..maildir++
which is used to know whether the account already migrated.
Always be careful and make copy of the
~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local
before doing anything from above, to have a copy to return to, if
anything breaks or simply doesn't work the way it should.
Bye,
Milan
