there's a message on [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject "This message crashes Evo" that had an invalid binary email address.
Remove this mesage from ~/evolution/local/Inbox/movemail Since Evolution was not able to fully import your local spool, it left a copy in ~/evolution/local/Inbox/movemail so that the next check could continue and thus not lose mail. Anyways, this bug has already been fixed in CVS so there should soon be another release containing a fix.
