I think that's tremendously unfair. I've used IMAP based accounts for
many, many years and never had any issues with them. They are
infinitely more workable when you use more than one client - I
currently have something like 10 clients on different OS's and lots of
different MUAs and NEVER had any issues.

I also can't remember anyone recently having this issue with Evolution
- there's a message from a couple of years ago, but that was on a very,
very old version.

The OP appears to be using a very new Flatpack version (3.46.0). If it
were a native version I would say to find out where the message cache
is stored, shutdown Evolution fully, delete the cache, and restart. The
file locations are in the help.  But I don't know if the same file
locations apply to Flatpack - those installs live in a world of their
own.

BTW, I suspect that these sorts of issues are down to the IMAP server.
Some of the offerings from google, yahoo, office365 etc are not exactly
robust.  If you are having issues, then reduce the number of concurrent
connections to a single one (it's in the config) and that reduces the
likelihood of things getting confused *at the server end*.
