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.
