I can confirm this bug, after updating from Ubuntu 10.04 to Ubuntu 11.10.
However, it seems that I have found a workaround.I have uninstalled Evolution completely AND I have deleted its old folders:
~/.evolution ~/.cache/evolution ~/.local/share/evolution
After reinstalling Evolution, it has remembered my configuration somehow, so it has started to download all my e-mails right-away, and the problem has vanished :-)
I hope this info could helps others.
