I can use Thunderbird and Kmail on that account  and emails are not junked.
If Gmail is junking the emails, Evolution is initiating it.

Within 5 minutes of starting Evolution700+ emails with various labels
appear in the spam folder of Gmail.
Viewed in Gmail in Firefox, Thunderbird and Kmail. These are not new
emails but in existing folders.
Also happens with all configured accounts.

Tried moving them back to inbox in Evolution. They move and then come
back again.

Found that out, deleted the following hoping it was some stuck
configuration.

$HOME/.config/evolution/
$HOME/.local/share/evolution/
