That's not header caching, that's _flag_ caching. The important
difference being that while the IMAP protocol explicitly allows header
caching (which is an important optimisation), it has no support for
caching of _flags_, which is less important.

An IMAP client which caches flags is buggy; unfortunately I know of no
way to turn this off in the Evolution back end at the moment.

You can also do it by going offline and back online again -- which isn't
necessarily much more convenient than closing and restarting,
admittedly.
