As others have said, Evolution can cope with many IMAP accounts - I
have 8 on the machine I'm currently using.  But having a single slow or
dodgy provider can cause "issues".

One thing that occasionally happens is that the provider doesn't like
multiple simultaneous connections - in the IMAP account receiving
options there's an option to change the number of concurrent
connections, set it to '1' to see if it improves things.

It needs a bit of patience sometimes - if it's slow, it's going to be
slow terminating the connection, especially if it is dealing with large
messages: it needs to cleanly finish what it's doing before closing
otherwise it could end up confused about what has or has not been
downloaded.
