Evolution only does automatic junk processing for new messages. The
only circumstance in which it would do this for existing messages is if
you explicitly invoked it (e.g. right click->Mark as junk). Sounds like
there's something odd about your Gmail/IMAP setup. I use Gmail with
IMAP and leave all junk processing to Gmail, and have never had this
problem.

Is there some other process on your system that accesses your mailbox,
e.g. a "new mail" alert box or some kind of filter outside Evo?
