labels "to do" "Important" etc not syncing with other mail clients

[Binoy T]

Binary package hint: evolution

My company has a imap account configured on around 5 machines, some of these machines are running evolution while some run thunderbird for their email needs.
We make use of labels extensively. If someone marks a email "Important" in thunderbird, the label immediately shows up as important on all machines in both evolution and thunderbird
The problem is if someone marks a email important (or to-do for that matter) in evolution, the label does not show up in thunderbird or evolution.
The bug is present in all versions of evolution.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This also affects me on Ubuntu 12.04 and Evolution 3.2.3.
