Hi,
is it also on FreeBSD or any other system/distro? Is it the same
version as the faulty one, or another (newer/older)?
The working Evolution install is on a Void LInux system, running
Evolution 3.42.3_1. So far it hasn't exhibited these issues.

I think the folder names are synchronized with broken information, thus
the next start they do not change, because the listing is up-to-date
(the folders are updated incrementally, the same as folders' content).
You can see that in the folder-tree file under:
~/.cache/evolution/mail/<ews-account-uid>/
When you remove it, the folders will be re-fetched completely.

That corresponds to the error you caught in the debug log. I guess it
happened when you clicked on one of those "(null)" folders.
That sounds right - strange that it can't seem to stay in-sync though. E.g. if I wipe the `.cache/evolution/mail/<acct-id>/folders, there seems to be a good chance that it won't be able pull back the proper folder names when it attempts to resync. Something to double-check, but again that weird nondeterminism makes understanding the problem difficult!
I'm sorry of all the guessing from my side. I do not have a FreeBSD
machine to try it out here. Maybe there's some glitch in the evo-ews
code, which exhibits only there/with certain compiler flags enabled.
Who knows.
:) Not me! In all seriousness, thank you very much for your patient help - I think that, even though there isn't a definitive answer to the problem, I'm much much much closer to getting it diagnosed, and it's primarily thanks to you and Angel.
If I get any closer to some discovery, would it be okay to open an issue on gitlab, or would communicating here on the mailing list be preferrable?
Bye,
Milan
Best regards!
Bridger
