I looked at the truss output, and it looks like Evo is still trying to
read your "cur" mailbox.  It could be that it's just choking under the
size.  Some users have reported that converting to maildir format helps
alleviate such problems.  You might also ask on the Ximian Evolution
list to see if anyone else has ideas.  It doesn't look like the app is
running into any component problems per se.
