I'd be inclined to blame Gmail's quirks. Personally, I've used Evolution since Debain 5 without issue, though not with Gmail though. Well, except on a work laptop for a few months until I realised it didn't behave properly (like hiding your own mails sent to lists) so I just set up a rule for gmail to forward all mail to proper IMAP sever (Dovecot) run by me and used that for work email. -- Tixy
