Could you test with Sylpheed 3.5.0 from https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/sharkcz/sylpheed/ ?

Could you run sylpheed manually under "strace" to capture a syscall log? It should contain what file can't be created. Does your system have enough free disk space?

chdir("/home/edwardp/Mail/sylpheed/Mail/inbox") = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
write(2, "/home/edwardp/Mail/sylpheed/Mail/inb"..., 36/home/edwardp/Mail/sylpheed/Mail/inbox: ) = 36
write(2, "chdir: No such file or directory"..., 33chdir: No such file or directory

As soon as I created these folders, the problem ceased. Closing bug.
