Evo only filters messages it considers "new". "Newness" is a state
maintained by the IMAP server and means it has not previously reported
the message *to any client*, so if you have two or more clients
concurrently active on the same IMAP account, only one of them (more or
less randomly) will see any given message as being "new" and hence apply
filters.

Solution: either run only one client at a time, or apply filters
manually (Ctrl-Y).

To disable for a specific account: uncheck Edit->Preferences->Mail
Accounts->[account]->Receiving Options->Check new messages for Junk
contents. To do it for all accounts: just disable the plugin.
