Why not just have it as a local Maildir account rather than getting
Courier involved in it? 

Anyway, presumably the setup of having all the mail folders appearing to
hang off INBOX is a Courier config thing and is just presentational
rather than reflecting the structure of the folders on the disk.

It's a Glib error - from the source code:

======
  if (stream->priv->pending)
    {
      g_set_error (error, G_IO_ERROR, G_IO_ERROR_PENDING,
                      /* Translators: This is an error you get if there is
                       * already an operation running against this stream when
                       * you try to start one */
                      _("Stream has outstanding operation"));
      return FALSE;
    }
=====

Can you see from the logs if the error is generated by Evo or is it
passed back to Evo by Courier?  It strikes me that some thread may be
having problems writing -  the problem is finding what: is it Courier
writing to the disk or Evo writing to IMAP.
