Evolution Slow Checking and Displaying Emails

[Pablo180]

Since upgrading to 12.10 Quantal and Evolution 3.6.0 Evolution has become painfully slow. It seems to check email itself fine, but if I manually select Send and Receive it hangs uses 100% CPU and has to be killed. It also seems to update the search folders on every launch (which again takes ages and uses 100% CPU) and when switching folders or displaying emails (be it plain text or HTML) it also hangs uses 100% CPU and take several minutes saying 'Retrieving message 37377347...." before displaying the chosen email.

Needless to say, this is making Evolution pretty much unusable. A 3-4 minute wait just to view my Inbox after viewing another folder is irritating to say the least.

This bug only began to affect me when I added a second IMAP+ account to Evolution.
