I've been playing with this (using the ToDo label for now). It works for
my usual IMAP server (Cyrus), but not for Gmail in IMAP mode. Since I
use Gmail for a lot of list traffic, this is a serious deficiency, but
it may be due to a problem in Gmail's IMAP implementation. It could also
be caused by a clash between the Gmail notion of a label and the Evo
notion.

Interestingly, I can manually apply Evo labels to Gmail messages, and
these are preserved, but with filters nothing happens. I've logged the
filter activity and it claims to be setting the labels, e.g.:

Applied filter "Interesting" to message from Jatin K <ssh fedora gmail com> - "lvm2-monitor service is dead 
!!!!" at Wed, 24 Feb 2010 11:48:50
Action: Set label to $Labeltodo
Applied filter "Interesting" to message from Kevin J. Cummings <cummings kjchome homeip net> - "Re: Printing 
from Windows XP" at Wed, 24 Feb 2010 11:48:50
Action: Set label to $Labeltodo
Applied filter "Interesting" to message from Jim <mickeyboa sbcglobal net> - "Re: How to Get rid of Dragon 
Player" at Wed, 24 Feb 2010 11:48:51
Action: Set label to $Labeltodo

However the messages don't show the label as set.

I've reported this as https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=610988
