I've encountered some problems with my imap accounts since I updated to evolution-2.4.2.1. Folders containing an umlaut in their name aren't accessible. It's also not possible to unsubscribe them. 
Please see the attached screenshot. The correct names of the folders are "Entwürfe" and "Gelöscht". These are standard folders for drafts and deleted messages and therefore I can't delete or rename them.

I discussed that on #evolution channel. The problem is known and should be solved in the actual cvs 2.5.90. I am waiting for a new (~)ebuild.

I noticed that starting with imap4rev1 there was no problem with "umlaute", but it's not recommended because it's unstable and not continued.

By the way: Never name a folder with "++..", you won't be able to contact the imap server anymore.

please upgrade to evolution-2.6 ( just marked stable with GNOME 2.14 ) and re-open the bug if you can still reproduce it.
