I have the same prob here - I use Thunderbird at home (GMail POP) and forced to use Evolution in our MS only office. Evolution (2.8.2) is slow and crashes regularly (well not Evol, the backend service) - I think its because the Junk filter and Mesg Filters are trying to move the same messages. At the moment I have a working solution - I open Evol, wait for all messages (headers) to download, then wait for junk filter to complete - then select all Inbox messages and hit Ctrl-Y (filter). This seems to work most of the time. I'm still debugging a bit - but will file a bug report when Im certain about whats going on.
