        Hi,
I do not think you want to do that, it hides any folders not being
under [Gmail] (I have such myself). Anyway, it can be done by editing
underlying files (because it's an advanced option, for advanced users).
Search files under ~/.config/evolution/sources, you are interested in
those having [Imapx Backend] section. There is a DisplayName in the
file, which can help you to identify the right file, in case you've
configured more IMAP accounts. Edit the file and change these values
under the [Imapx Backend]:

   Namespace=the_path_to_use
   UseNamespace=true

That would be probably:

   Namespace=[Gmail]

but I'm not sure. It's not the same as what the Thunderbird does.

Depending on your Evolution version, Folder->Edit Sort Order... menu
option.

If you mean the mini card view, then it uses the File As attribute.
