Hello, all.  I'm having a nightmare of a time with IMAP subscriptions.
I have used Evolution for many, many years.  Two years ago, I added an
IMAP account from Tigertech.net and was surprised to see all my IMAP
subfolders show up under my Inbox (contrary to the Evolution
instructions). However, it worked fine.

Yesterday, I added a second account and moved those subfolders to the
new account.  All appears fine on the back end. If I use the
Tigertech.net web mail, the folders are in the new account and at the
same level as the Inbox and they are no longer under the old account.

However, now both of those accounts in Evolution initially show
subfolders but then they all disappear from the view.  When I try to
manage subscriptions, they all appear under the Inbox rather than peer
to it.  I've tried moving them to a peer level for the few moments they
appear and, it first displays them as peers but then they disappear. 
Manage subscriptions still shows them under the Inbox.

I can get them to briefly re-appear by disabling and re-enabling the
account but then they disappear and the focus jumps to the Junk folder.

I can see Evolution synchronizing the folders.  I ran Evolution from
the command line but saw no errors.  

I have restarted Evolution
Killed all processes and restart Evolution
Rebooted
Uninstalled and Purged Evolution
Uninstalled, Purged, and deleted all hidden folders for Evolution

No matter what I do, the folders show up under the Inbox in the Manage
Subscriptions dialog and they disappear from the view.

I very reluctantly tried KMail and it behaves as expected.

Most of the subfolders contain email but one subfolder contains other
folders which contain email (and one more nesting in one case).

How do I get these subscribed subfolders to again appear in Evolution?

Thanks - John

Ack! Out of practice reporting these:
I'm running Evolution 3.38.3-1 on Debian 11.3
