That's probably true, but that's not what we're talking about. You read
from multiple locations then you're hopefully doing it with IMAP over
ipsec or something. I'm talking about the simple case of reading local
mail (local Evo mailboxes grabbed from POP) and expecting the position
of selected messages in index views to remain the same across folder
changes and returns as well as quitting and restarting the application.

Open question: Why is this not doable?

No I can't. Because when I get new mail bettween reads the scroll
position will be screwed up just as with regular folders... therefore I
resort to deleting duplicate messages in another folder for the purpose
so that the latest (but oldest) mail on the list is top of the window
with no need to scroll to find it.
