Hi,

Evolution  2.24.2, Ubuntu 8.10, 2.6.27-9-generic

It happened to me twice. Along with other reported bug that evolution does not 
delete messages from server after specified number of days for me it resulted 
in downloading again about 32000 emails from my account.
I don't know how to reproduce it. It just happened second time in about 3 
months period.

Only strange thing I experience that may be related is that I'm using VPN from 
time to time, and it may happen that sometimes I turn it on or off when 
evolution is downloading. I realized that if connection is broken in some 
circumstances fetching of emails form server hangs. Consequently pidgin hangs 
as well. Both programs stay in not responding state and I have to kill all 
evolution related processes and start it again to get it working.
I'm not sure if this is related to messages being downloaded again. Hanging 
issue has happened for me many times and old emails issue only twice. But as I 
said this is only strange thing happening with evolution for me that I can 
think of.
