I have two main accounts in Kmail, both IMAP, and one Gmail IMAP.
Kmail
handles them quite well.  I have never tried to set them up in Evo.  I
have a work-issued windows laptop on which I have put Thunderbird for
personal mail.  Kmail seems to handle Gmail IMAP better than
Thunderbird.  It seems to handle my other IMAP account, hosted by
Verizon Business (a personal account that used to be a business
account)
the same as Kmail.

More to the point of the original post, I am going to assume that kmail
handles Gmail IMAP much better than evo.  The reason is that if you move
other accounts over to your Gmail account, Gmail automatically tags the
mail with the name of these accounts.  If you access Gmail with IMAP,
tags are presented as folders.  As I mentioned before, kmail allows you
to associate folders with a particular identity, so mail to
arthur alexion com goes to a folder with the arthur alexion com default
identity, so if I reply to it, the reply stays in that folder and it is
sent with the correct identity.  OTOH, as evo cannot associate folders
with identities, I would have to remember to manually change the
identity when replying, especially when replying to lists where
subscription matters.
