I tried using Kmail and Thunderbird with exactly the same results. So it was evident it was not an Evolution problem. I googled some more for a different subject and then I found a page saying that MTU value could be the problem. As root, I used "ping -f -l 1500 192.168.0.1" (that is my winbox's IP) and sure enough, there was a message "WARNING: probably, rcvbuf is not enough to hold preload.". I kept trying lower values until I reached 576 for MTU. I went to Yast and set it for eth1, and now, everything works fine. Maybe it will help others with similar problem.
