I agree with that. It's too big a can-o-worms to sort it out so that Evo always does what everyone thinks it should. It's also something that Evo can not solve on it's own, it needs the IMAP server to also be aware of sync'ing issues. A few years back I switched from using UW-IMAP to Dovecot - the issue that my users were getting stressed about was that UW-IMAP did not allow concurrent access to the same folder from multiple places, whereas Dovecot does. They were getting annoyed that if they left their MUA running at work, their home one either wouldn't connect or their work one lost it's connection, or they couldn't use mail-notification programs etc. etc. Dovecot solved that issue, but at least UW-IMAP coped with the synchronisation issues by just not allowing it to arise in the first place.
