Is something output on the console? Could you give us the detail of your
accounts and folder? Do you have folders.db files in your .evolution
folders (under .evolution/mail/*/*/folders.db)?

This one should be fixed with 2.30.3-2 but you might have to reimport
your certificate or, at least, set the trust bits in certificates
settings (that it, when you'll manage to get access to evolution).

The SSL check will accept input, but if you have checked “refresh all
folders” or something like that, it'll try sequentially *all* folders
even if you click cancel. So it might take a while, but in the end
they'll disappear
