I am using Evolution 2.0.2 to read mail via IMAP. I only have about 290 messages in my inbox. It is horribly slow, and every few (maybe 15-20) e-mails that I read causes Evo to drag badly. That message takes 10-20 seconds to load. The mail server is on the LAN with me on 100MB/s switched ethernet. I'm on a Dual 2.8GHz Xeon box with 2GB memory and 15,000 RPM Ultra320 drives so I don't think it's my system. Evolution 2.0.2 is just dog slow. I opened bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=139145 on the issue. Evo 1.4 did not exhibit this slowness that I can recall. Thomas
