Hello Stefano,

Not sure what's is causing the problem that you having..  but my guess
is that it could be DNS related forward and reverse problems and the way
your workstation or the server is resolving...

The IMAP folders that I use in the standard Evolution usually end up
with quite a few thousand messages in them before I archive them..  The
speed is very quick..

Cheers
