FWIW, my university just switched from a sendmail server to Microsoft Exchange Server and now I am seeing the phenomenon reported by Jeremy. I never saw this happen with the sendmail server. (I am using POP2 and evolution 2.12.3 because locked in to RedHat 5.) In my case, Evolution stalls usually on mail #26. Upon cancelling and restarting, it downloads the rest of the email OK. So anyone looking to debug this might see whether it is something specific to the way Microsoft implements the POP protocol.
