Well, I only have 39,259 messages in about 100 folders, but I've found
that evolution 1.5.8 works pretty well (is that one of the usual
suspects?). I've found the most variation in performance to be between
servers, rather than between clients. We used to use wu-imap, which
sucks bunnies through a garden hose, but when we switched to Courier
IMAP, all the chokes disappeared.
