Yes it is a POP account on local storage.

I tried importing with a fresh install but it crashed during the
importing process. I went in to my 2.2 GB folder and deleted some stuff
to bring my INBOX down to 1.6 GB. That seemed to have solved my problems
for now. I am assuming it isn't because of a 2 GB limit but I could be
wrong. I figured on a 64 bit system with a recent version of Evo that
wouldn't be a problem. Thanks for the help on this.
