You need to give more information about your setup. For example you
don't say if all the folders are part of the same account, and if the
account or accounts are POP, IMAP, Exchange etc. These things matter.

It would also be worth looking at any mail filters you have, and of
course if the problem folders are real or virtual. Is it always the same
set of problem folders? Do they all appear and disappear at once or is
it just sometimes one and sometimes another?

FWIW, Evo should handle 100 folders easily.
