This is how IMAP is supposed to work. IMAP is explicitly *not* meant to
keep multiple clients in synch with each other.

Bummer :-(

Furthermore, refetching messages unnecessarily is not just a matter of
how fast your network is, it's also hammering your mail server. Your
server admin (me) is not going to thank you.

Well, I happen to be my own server admin ;-)

find ~/.evolution/mail/imap/$EVO_ACCT/folders -type f|xargs shred -uv

That might be an interesting "solution" to execute when shutting down or
going to (acpi) sleep.
