How lucky you are !

It's not working like this.
Evo should do, for each mail x:
RETR x (now the mail n° x is safely appended to the mbox file or
what-not)
DELE x (now it's deleted from the server)
and after all mails are processed, sync folders and stuff

This way, if Evo crashes the worst that can happen is (half) a duplicate
mail and/or an unsynced folder. The folder will automatically be synced
at startup (because of file access datestamp). I think that the
duplicate mail can be avoided too.
But the current behavior isn't pratical on a modem, believe me.
