But Evo takes a long time to exit (30 seconds or so) as it waits until exit time to purge and write out all mail folders. Most distros don't give processes nearly this long to exit.True, and in fact some versions used to hang indefinitely on this (though it hasn't happened to me recently). But that just means the caching strategy needs to take account of this to allow Evo to shut down in a relatively short time, or alternatively to be able to write its state locally in such a way as to recover consistency when restarted.
I'd like to see a periodic cleanup, every 5 minutes or so, where evolution does an expunge of all mailboxes automatically, so it's always more or less ready for shutdown. But I believe that has been discussed just this week already.
