Seems to be this bug from bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=648082

Description: this problem araised today after updating all dovecot packages:

[AKTUALISIERUNG] dovecot-common 1:1.2.9-1ubuntu6.4 -> 1:1.2.9-1ubuntu6.5
[AKTUALISIERUNG] dovecot-imapd 1:1.2.9-1ubuntu6.4 -> 1:1.2.9-1ubuntu6.5
[AKTUALISIERUNG] dovecot-pop3d 1:1.2.9-1ubuntu6.4 -> 1:1.2.9-1ubuntu6.5
[AKTUALISIERUNG] dovecot-postfix 1:1.2.9-1ubuntu6.4 -> 1:1.2.9-1ubuntu6.5

De-Updating all these packages back to Version 1:1.2.9-1ubuntu6.4 solved the problem.

Thanks for the bug report, please can you confirm that this is a bug with dovecot and not evolution?

Thanks.

It is a bug in both dovecot and Evolution. Remember, dovecot shouldn't fail even if the client does something silly. This patch should totally go in updates for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and supported releases beyond. The fix was shipped in Fedora 12 and 13.
