        Hi,
does anything change if you move away from the message and then back to
it?

I think I see something similar from time to time, but so rarely that I
cannot debug it. When I select a message which is not downloaded yet, it
downloads, but the message preview shows it basically empty, with almost
no details, nothing. Then I move away from the message in the message
list and back, the message is re-downloaded and shown properly. Maybe
it's something similar for you.

Search for the above message ID in your ~/.cache/evolution/mail and
delete the message (not folders.db file) which contains it. That will
force re-download in case the simple "move away and back" won't work.
Theen select the message in the Evolution's UI.

I would also try to decrease concurrent connections for that account,
it's in Edit->Preferences->Mail Accounts-><the GMail account>->Receiving
Options tab.
        Bye,
