[Evolution] IMAP hangs drive me nuts ...

[Xavier Bestel <n0made free fr>]

Hi,

I still have loads of hangs with Evo 1.4.5 (mind you, nearly each time I
switch folders !). Apparently it's my (cyrus) server's faults: it seems
it hangs on long lines.
But I thought a workaround had been implemented in Evo ages ago, in
order to split long lines and only send bite-sized chunks to the server.
Either I'm wrong or it's been removed because Evo 1.4.5 sends this (4050
chars !) when changing folders:

sending : A00025 UID STORE

 FLAGS.SILENT (\Seen)

The net result is a hang, waiting for a timeout. When I'm lucky, I can
press the Big Red Stop Button, but sometimes it's insensitive (greyed
out) and I must either kill evo or wait for the timeout ...

Is there a patch somewhere for this problem ?
