evolution: does not work with courier mail-server, cannot read out correct server-settings

This was filed as bug in Debian-testing: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=758867 Package: evolution Version: 3.12.2-1+b1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I gave a talk at my local Linux-usergroup about e-mail-clients and GPG (see attachment). When preparing that, it turned out, that the Evolution-version currently in testing does not work with our courier-mailserver there. In the first place Evolution does not detect the correct server-settings at setup, which is no problem for icedove, then, upon manual account-configuration it does not show the IMAP-inbox-folder. It seemed to work upon sending myself a test-mail, but only for once, so this is not a suitable workaround. In order to tell things more prcisely: IMAP-folders are shown correctly, except the inbox-folder. It is a regression, because the current stable version of Evolution works just fine. I used that for my presentation. The server is: courier Server 4.8.0-3 P.S. I am going to forward this to upstream as recommended, but not right now, at once.
