I guess I'm not really sure what your "fat, dumb and happy" mode was
before, and how Evolution, or a new version of Evolution?, has changed
things so you're not in that mode any longer...?

It's still not clear to me why your email on your IMAP server is being
deleted, if you didn't mark it for deletion on your local system.  Are
you saying that your ISP/IMAP server provider is deleting old messages
from your folders, even if you didn't mark them for deletion...?!?!

If that's the case then as already mentioned the right answer is to get
another provider which is not insane, not futzing with workarounds.  IMO
anyway.
