Agreed. I too have a number of IMAP-based accounts and several clients
for them on different devices and platforms, including Evolution. I
have never seen an issue such as the OP describes. My guess would be
that there is some sort of database corruption, but since I don't use
the Flatpak version I can't really comment further.
