Thanks to the bug report I figured out what I had to do. I didn't know that I had to change the setting in accounts to use imap folders instead of local. This was one a few things I didn't like about Evolution but now it's working. I don't know why the defaults are to use locla folders when you setup an imap emaill account you obviously want to keep mail on the server. There are severl settings that I have to remember to change with Evolution when fresh installing but I love the program. Even better that Thunderbird.
