I've tested with lucid as follow: 1) I've launched the live environment and setted up my imap account on lucid live. evolution has done the job well for the few new emails resident inside the imap server.
2) I've repeated the operation mounting my home from the HD in order to load evolution settings and folders. lucid's version of evolution has converted the mail database automatically without any dialog for consensus (something related to a mismatch between db type/or version in lucid vs hardy)... this sound a bit scarring but... everything goes ok. again lucid's evolution has worked well for the few emails I've received in the while. 3) I've rebooted in my 8.04 ubuntu and reopended evolution after several weeks of non-usage: again everything has gone smooth this time! do not ask me the reasons... hardy's evolution has gone crazy for around 1 month on both imap and pop3 after almost 2 years of correct usage. then it seems to work again without _any_ reason, - specifically noone of my office-mates was afflicted by this behaviour by using outlook , thus I suppose this was not a issue of our servers. I can just point out my steps after the crazy behaviour: 1- I've dismissed evolution; 2- I've used claws mail as client for a while (basically for the time between my bug report and your answer), reorganizing imap folders from its interface; 3- I've tested the new evolution from lucid in live mode by mounting my evolution folders in my home. 4- I've constantly kept hardy updated by issuing 'aptitude update && aptitude dist-upgrade'. I do not think claws can resolve download issues of evolution :-) so step 1- should be harmless... has db conversion actually made a copy of the evolution database rather than converting it? otherwise how can hardy's evolution still works? can it be the reason for the re-established correct behaviour?. I really don't know, btw everything now seems ok (and sloooow on imap connections wrt claws) so you can close the bug I guess.
