yes, Thunderbird and many other IMAP clients are able to retrieve the
correct headers from Gmail (either accidentally or by puspose).

the whole thing depends on the way how the client requests the headers
from the Gmail server. it turned out that using the ENVELOPE imap
command works around this problem since GImap responds to such a request
correctly.

thunderbird has a hidden config option to force the ENVELOPE command. 
(mail.imap.use_envelope_cmd = true)

 )

it would be very good to have a similar config option for evolution.....

but after all, it _IS_ a Gmail bug ... :-(
