And you shouldn't. An IMAP folder "INBOX.x" is not ~/Maildir/INBOX.x
One thing I just found out this is not only in Gnome with Evolution but also in Kmail with KDE4.1.3. My 'inbox' for the imap account has always been three seperate folders in ~/Maildir, cur, new and tmp which I believe are correct or not? Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this further?

The ultimate troubleshooter is to set IMAPDEBUGFILE=debug.txt in the config file, that creates debug.txt in each Maildir that logs all IMAP commands sent to that account. That's going to generate huge log files fairly quickly, so you don't want to leave it set, for long.
