I have to say, since I upgrade both Gnome and Evolution, both of these
problems have resolved themselves.  Large messages are no longer a
problem, mail sends immediately and the memory leaks are largely
improved (but still happen with inline graphics I think).

I have also disabled junk mail checking because is suspect that some of
the memory leaks were there.

Are you using Gnome 2.14?  Huge increase in speed.  Evolution 2.6.1 is
an improvement as well.  Things are feeling pretty "post-beta" now on my
desktop.

I actually returned to Evolution after the upgrade - I had been using
Thunderbird because Evolution was just too unstable and slow.
