I just tried it in a CentOS 4 VMware virtual machine and I had the same
problem reported in the bugs.

I sent a bunch of messages to a pop account, and downloaded the messages
with Evolution.  I then read a couple of messages, closed Evolution, and
reopened it.  The messages I had read were still marked read - this is
good.

I then read two more messages, but this time logged out of Gnome without
closing Evolution. When I logged back in and opened Evolution, the
messages I had just read were marked as unread.  The two messages from
the previous test were still marked read.

I've repeated the second test a few times; in every case it's been
reproduced.

Could you try my second test out and let me know if Evolution develops
amnesia for you, too?

Thanks,

Ranbir
