        Hi,
which version did you update from, please? The only forced conversion
from mbox to Maildir is done for On This Computer account, located at

   ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/

No other accounts should be affected by it. The more importantly, the
switch to Maildir for On This Computer account had been done years ago,
even before 3.6.0 release (which is the second half of 2012).

To know whether the migration is needed Evolution checks whether

   ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/.Outbox/

directory exists. If not, and if the local storage exists, then the
migration is needed. Is that directory gone in your installation?
        Bye,
