You say the status line says that it's a server based search - then surely it is the server, not evolution, that is the issue? Out of interest, those search times and send/receive look to be excessive. 20k mails is not big - I have 100+k in a single folder; I know the number of folders is important, but I have a fair few and I can delete the cache folder and Evo will rebuild the message list in a few minutes. Are you on a particularly slow connection? Is the server underpowered? Do you have any control over the server?
