(Get the code!)
I don't know if this is related, but I have just encountered some Evolution folder-moving weirdness in 11.10.
I was trying to rename or move various local folders (maildir) and would get error messages about non-existent folders/files. I would restart Evolution and then things would look (more) OK. Looking at the folder structure in the file system it appeared that the folders were being renamed in the background (these were big folder hierarchies with hundreds of nested folders) and while the filesysten rename was in progress the Evolution folders wouldn't play nice. (There was also no indication in Evolution that a background operation was running.)
Also, when the top-level evolution folder had subfolders but no messages the corresponding filesystem folder didn't exist. If I created a corresponding folder in the filesystem I was then able to rename the folder in Evolution.
