Summary:
When adding a new Mail account to Internet Accounts and you don't choose to use this account for Notes, too, the only way to later on change that selection is to delete and re-add the account. If you initially pick both, you can change your mind at any time later on, though.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to System Preferences
2. Go to Internet Accounts
3. Click + to add a new account
4. Click on Add Other Account...
5. Choose Mail account
6. Enter the credentials of a valid mail account
7. Use with offers Mail and Notes - only pick Mail
8. Select created account in list and enable Notes

Expected Results:
You see "Use with:" where both is offered, Mail and Notes and Mail is checked Notes, isn't. So you can just check Notes, maybe even uncheck mail, if you like.

Actual Results:
You only sse a checkbox "Enable this account". The only way to get this selection back is to delete and re-add this account. Note that if you initially picked both, you can later on always change the selection as desired.

Sure I can. As I mentioned in my update already, the problem is that initially the account panel correctly recognizes that this is an IMAP account, which it really is(!), but then it adds the account as a POP3 account (as I also saw in Mail) and there is no way to change it to IMAP thereafter.

This bug is actually related to the bug 24437353. When adding the account, it is recognized to be an IMAP account, thus I can choose to also use it for notes, but then it is added as a POP account and as such an account doesn't support Notes anymore, this option has vanished. Okay, something goes seriously wrong here.
