Since you asked... ;)

Evo+IMAP seems not to scale well when folders get more than 5000ish
emails.  Time-to-open a folder takes an IMO inordinate amount of 
time scanning all the headers.

Vitals:
- Debian Unstable (up to date, GNOME 2.10)
- Evo 2.2.2-2
- Courier IMAP 3.0.8-4
- linux kernel 2.6.11
- Maildir folders on a reiserfs partition of a 7200RPM IDE HDD
