It is, but as hinted by NotZed, Evolution IMAP is rather fragile. The
typical case for me is when I filter huge amounts of mail (I have lots
of filters to colorize mails, and if there are some hundreds mails in a
folder the ctrl-A ctrl-Y sequence often makes Evo hang on a "pinging
imap server" until a too long timeout occurs). This is workarounded if
you set a low maximum IMAP command length (I have a patch somewhere for
that) but IMHO shows a problem somewhere.

I used Evo 1.5 (from redcarpet on RH9) at work connected to a Cyrus and
an Exchange IMAP servers, and it's worth its "unstable" name. I use Evo
1.4 at home (from debian/sid, which contains my patch) connected to the
very same servers, and it's stable and pleasant to use.
