I've noticed that as well.  Evolution DOES remember if you've selected
"threaded view" for a mailbox (all mine are IMAP, btw), and it does keep
track of which messages have been read.  Sorting in date order, most
recent last seems to be the default, so I'm guessing you wouldn't
notice: try changing that order, and restarting.  If it doesn't stick,
then at least I know it isn't some weird permission issue on my side.

I did erase my evolution directory and killed oaf/evo and even rebooted
this morning just for the hell of it.  (Also downloaded the snapshot
from ftp.ximian.com and rpm'd it as well.)  No go.

My guess: the bonobo-conf isn't complete.
