Bug Description
Binary package hint: evolution
I have just upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 (32 bit). The older version of Evolution worked perfectly and was really fast with my IMAP accounts (Dovecot imapd, gigabit ethernet), even if I have 4 accounts, 80 folders and 150.000 emails.
After the upgrade to ubuntu 8.10 (Evolution 2.424.1) it has become painfully slow when checking IMAP folders for new mail. It uses up to 1 GB of memory, it continuosuly accesses the disk, and it seems to hang for a lot of time (while accessing disk) on "Fetching summary information for new messages in "some folder" (100%)". The network activity is minimal and it seems "normal" to me, while disk, ram and cpu usage are very high.
The only difference in my setup is that I have upgraded from ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10.
Other useful information: The server runs Debian Etch, Dovecot is version 1.0.rc15, since I use server side filtering, Evolution is set up to check for new mail in every folder. I have no filtering enabled in Evolution.
I suppose that the issue is with the adoption of a different database format for storing folder informations.

thank you for your bug report, the issue is an upstream one though, could you open the bug on bugzilla.gnome.org where the people writting the software will read it? optimization work is rather upstream work than distribution one, especially that you are the first one to complain about the new version speed so some option you are using could trigger the issue
