Hello Zak,

My Inbox grew to 573MB from 1999-2008. Evolution started choking on it
for me. Periodic crashes. Very frustrating. My solution was to move my
original 573 MB inbox to a different folder name and let Evolution
create a new Inbox. 

After I did this Evolution was much more stable. 

If your Inbox is large, I highly recommend renaming it (from the Linux
file system) and letting evolution create a new one.

Best of luck,
Rob
