I guess but before filling a bug I want to make sure the problem is not 
configuration related or something that I can fix.

The only difference between my Ubuntu et now on Arch this is the type of 
the connection : I'm now use IMAP+ to have push mail and before I was 
using simple IMAP with a poll every minutes. (since IMAP+ is a new 
feature in Evolution)

In both cases, I checked the option on the inbox folder to cache locally 
the content for offline operation.
