Likely they migrated to an inferior server/service which does not
support IMAP NOTIFY.

Under the account's receiving preferences uncheck "Listen for server
change notifications".  I believe this will stop Evolution from sending
NOTIFY requests.   This sends the client back to the old poll-the-
mailboxes-every-so-often method of yesteryear.
