Interesting. I've used several email clients including Evolution, and I don't think it ever did that on my computer. Idk if that's some recent change or we get different default settings per Linux distro... I think email is supposed to stay just the way it is on the server, unless the user clicks on something. At least that's what I expect my email clients to do per default. Did you check if they've been changed on the server? Maybe that's just a flag within Evolution itself but it didn't really do anything to the stored mails...
I'm not the tech-savviest in the room, but if you mean by "on the server" in Gmail, they definitely appeared there in the browser as well when they never had been before. I'm not 100% sure it was a result of my Evolution connection but I really don't remember making any other recent email "change" beyond trying this connection.
Yeah, I don't know much about Evolution's internals either. I've just been using it. If @tom_s@friendica.ambag.es is right, I'd agree. It's a bit unfortunate if software just generously moves things around right from the get go, and with an untrained spam filter. It'd be better if that was opt-in, required a confirmation, or did this to newly incoming mails only.
I mean I have like 3 email clients, two different ones on computers and one on the phone. They can't all be moving mails around and interfere with each other. I do the spam filtering and sorting on the server and keep the clients as simple as possible.
