IMAPx: Can claim existing folders as gone

I'm not sure if this is happening with the latest version of Evolution (I'm stuck on 3.26.6 for now for unrelated reasons) but since this is such a weird/heisenbug-style issue, I'm suspecting it might not have been detected and reported before...

On one of my IMAP accounts, which happens to be an Exchange server behind the scenes (that I use in IMAP mode), every few days or so I end up having to go back into that account's preferences and set the "Sent" and "Draft" custom folders again, because they have somehow reverted to "This Computer/Sent/" and "This Computer/Drafts/".

Further troubleshooting notes:

  • This issue does not happen with the Spam or Trash folders, surprisingly enough. I haven't tested the "Archives" and "Templates" folder settings, only noticed the "Drafts" and "Sent" folders resetting every now and then, when I can't find my stuff in the IMAP "Sent items" folder on the server...
  • Does not get systematically triggered by quitting evolution, even with --force-shutdown, not even with "killall evolution"

Maybe a race condition somewhere? But why would it even try to change the folder settings without me going into the preferences, and why would this behave any differently from the Spam and Trash folders? I dunno. I realize this isn't the most clear-cut bug report, but I thought I'd try reporting it anyway.
