Presumably you subscribed to the Gmane NNTP server. The folder doesn't
contain mail but news articles from the Fedora group.

Unsubscribe from Gmane.

None of that has been happening to me. Try moving ~/.evolution to one

Also, if you want to report problems, it's important to state which
version of Evo you have, what platform it's running on, and what kind of
mail is giving trouble (POP, IMAP, Exchange, ...).
