I've encountered similar issues when the new messages are flagged (on the server) as having been "seen" -- Evolution will not filter such messages automatically; it assumes that since they've already been seen, they're not new. For me, this happens when I read my mail via the web, then go home and use Evolution (the messages I saw in my Inbox via the web won't be filtered by Evo), or when I use my laptop with Evolution and offlineimap to sync my mail; Evolution will *never* filter automatically on my laptop because offlineimap has already "seen" the messages. Annoying but true. Anyway, like Tonni said, it sounds like a server issue. But you can pass this hint on to whoever manages your servers. If I was going to make a guess I'd say there's probably some sort of spam- and/or virus-filtering software on the server, and after it examines the messages the server considers them to have been "seen". So it should either reset this flag or work with the server in such a way that it never gets flagged.
