Evolution has done this to me for years and years. I first noticed
this behavior in 2007. Not sure why it's recent. It's never gone away
for me. Mind you, I've done a complete reinstall and re downloaded all
my mail on a few occasions, so it's not just one long broken install
either. I can reproduce this consistently.  It's still better for me
than any of the alternatives, but I have stopped expecting Evolution
to ever really be polished and stable.
