        Hi,
just in case, go to the Edit->Message Filters and correct all the rules
to point to the new account's folders. They have stored a reference to
the previous (now deleted) Gmail account.

With respect of the original error you saw, I do not recall seeing any
such in the recent past. I've no idea how that could happen. Maybe a
leftover from previously configured accounts, though it feels unlikely.
If it happens again, check what the UID points to (the one you
"censored"). There is a corresponding UID.source file on the disk,
either in ~/.config/evolution/sources/ or under
~/.cache/evolution/sources. Eventually there's a .source file
referencing that UID (containing that UID string).
        Bye,
        Milan
