There are still a few *very basic* facts we don't know.
1) How large (average) are the messages that you have problem displaying?
2) What type of local mail account does your Evolution use? "Local delivery"
(ie. *copying* mail from system mbox to Evolution-specific location), mbox
(directly) or Maildir (directly)?
3) The above is connected with another question: what format does your local
mail system use? mbox or Maildir?
4) If this is mbox, how large it is?
Scanning a large mbox may involve significant CPU load.

Without this information, actually very little is known about your local
mail system. In my opinion, debugging any local mail related problem without
this information is not possible.
