It seems you're right, my evolution mailing list folder makes evolution to
hang :-).

Anybody can help me to trace or debug this? evolution starts too fast to attach an strace to the right 
process, when I attach strace to the main mail process the only output I obtain is:

--> strace -p 2197
write(22, "\300\276\20\10\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\200\207\n\10\340\276\20"..., 28 <unfinished ...>

and the process has _always_ the same size:

--> ps aux | grep evol

Did you put this ^H at the end of the message? I saw it only now while editing
with vi.
