It isn't ... they happen to me from time to time with both IMAP (non-
GMail) and even Local Mails. Sometimes they evaporate on restart.

Couldn't we somehow make Evolution understand these weird IMAP servers 
(it's not only GMail, but our company's Zimbra has many strange folders 
as well)? It seems that actually GMail is one of the few public mail 
servers which can be persuaded to work correctly with Evolution's CORRECT 
behavior vis-a-vis deleting emails on IMAP (i.e., not moving the email to 
Trash folder, but labelling the message as \Deleted).
