As I'm not entirely sure what you're really about (and my memory of 1.x
versions is fading ;), here are a couple of notes that should cover your
issue.
* When switching folders, Evo remembers the selected mail and the
position in the mail list. This even works after closing Evo.
Caveat: Unfortunately Evo remembers the *scroll* position only and
will return to that position. If you get a lot of new mails in
between, the selected mail can scroll out of the visible area of the
list view.
* The position inside a mail (within the mail pane [1]) is not
remembered. When switching mails or mail folders this info will be
forgotten.
* Searches are saved on a per folder basis and remembered, when getting
back to that folder.
As a workaround to not lose the position inside the mail pane just open
a new Window and use that window to read other mails. That way you can
get back to the original mail just at the point you left off.
File / New Window Shift-Ctrl-W

AFAIK nope.
If you're unsatisfied with this behavior please feel free to file a bug
in bugzill.gnome.org.
