I've had a few problems when upgrading from sarge to etch, particular
with the new version of Evolution 2.6.3 dealing with IMAP accounts.

ii  evolution                         2.6.3-6
groupware suite with mail client and organizer

Errors were particularly crytic messages about errors from server (some
to do with storage) and not being able to see any emails. (NB I could
still use webmail to see said accounts) 

After much trial and error, I found the following steps per IMAP account
resolved the errors:

for each account
  * ensure 'TLS encryption' is not selected under 'receiving
email' (I've switched to 'no encrytion'
  * ensure under 'receiving options' that 'show only subscribed folders'
is not selected [this step may not be always needed...]
  * save these changes, quit and restart Evolution

Hope that's of help to others!

Michael
