I use Evolution and Mutt with Google's IMAP interface. It works nicely
but I've noticed this quirky behavior when using a client via IMAP. My
messages appear in multiple places at the same time.
For instance I'll have new mail display in Inbox, All Mail (where
*everything* is), and then in the individual labels (or folders).
Pretty funky. At first I just thought it was an Evolution thing,
but I've tested it with Outlook 2003, Thunderbird, and Mutt. I am
assuming that each message isn't actually being delivered three times
and just listed in different folders within the account.
Is there a way for this to be disabled and subsequently have
messages be displayed in their specific folders...or is this just how
Gmail works?

If there isn't a way, I make one.
