Sorry, yes I should have said that these are remote (dovecot) IMAP folders. Although the remote server is fine, my ISP connection can be attrocious at times! For that reason I too wondered if it was something to do with talking to the server. I had a look at the 'updates-testing' repo but there were no releases of evolution waiting. However, I did find in the gnome (evolution) bugzilla reports[1] about folders being lost (etc) when laptop users suspend their device and are using a remote IMAP server. Although not exactly the same, the circumstances - loss of network - are similar. There was no mention of mail filters, but the bug was that the loss of network was not being reported correctly. In my case it could be that evolution thinks the network is there but the folders aren't - hence the filters get changed to remove the folder names. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to have been fixed until the evolution 3.9 branch, and I see that F20/21 will be using branches 3.9 and 3.10. I may take a stab at rebuilding the F20 source RPMS of evolution and evolution-data-server on my F19 system, but it may be too dependent on other things for it to work. Thanks, John.
