Evolution really can't cope with large amounts of mail. Thats one big reason I moved to claws. The fact everything else was suddenely faster was a big boon.
Yea, and right up to the time I abandoned evolution, every update made it worse, not better :-(. With claws, the updates either help or at least don't hinder.
I've been tempted to jump ship to Claws for some time. The main reason I haven't done it is that it still doesn't implement correct IMAP deletion of messages* and Evolution does. I've reported this to the Claws list and apparently it's to be fixed in version 4, but Fedora is still on 3.7.

* i.e. deleting a message simply marks it, and expunging a folder removes marked messages. This is how IMAP is defined to work. Copying messages to a physical Trash folder is evil :-)
