Thank you Milan,

shutting down (closing and then pkill) evolution and renaming (mv -i)
the folder.db files of the affected files seemed to solve the problem.
After renaming the files, I started Evolution from the command line, and
it ran without stderr or stdout messages, but the folder.db files were
recreated. All activated accounts are available again via
“Send/Receive.”

Regards,
Ralf
