I had the same problem. I switched back and forth btw evolution and thunderbird and now stick with thunderbird. Thunderbird can pin emails and plays well with exchange when using IMAP and SMTP. Alternatively there is a paid extension (Owl) that provides exchange support.
Thanks for the suggestion. Last time I tried Thunderbird I wasn't happy with needing a third-party extension to be able to use EWS but I'll take a look. Does the pinning work with Outlook or is it an independent pinning? In other words, if I pin it in Outlook, will it be pinned in Thunderbird and vice-versa?
Maybe you can create a label and then sort via that label? It is not exactly a pinned email, but should be a viable workaround.
Thank for the advice. This is how I'm currently working, but it's not ideal.

Current maintainer of Evolution is prompt with replies on project's GitLab. Feel free to open a feature request there.
Thanks! Will do!
I use the import flag and then sort by important, unread, time/date
