Thanks for a bug report. It seems to me like a broken folders.db file, which might happen after some crash. Maybe it's also a reason for your bug #681106.
I do not know which folder is this about, but if it's some under On This Computer, then I would try to move elsewhere file
   ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/folders.db
(while evolution is not running), and let evolution recreate it the next start. Similar folders.db file can be found for imap accounts at
   ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/imap/<account>/folders.db

Please do not delete the file, only move it elsewhere, thus if something will go wrong then you might be able to return it back.

Similar upstream bug report without any attention:

Thanks, Milan.  Moving the  

~/.local/share/evolution/mail/imap/<account>/folders.db 

file fixed the problem.

Thanks for the update. I'm closing this as upstream.
