Hi, I can confirm this, since I'm probably "eccentric", just using POP accounts. However, assuming that the hardware, e.g. a HDD isn't fishy, some really long emails with tons of links, especially when using unusual Asiatic or Cyrillic fonts, but even without such fonts, could cause very long delays, before they are entirely displayed and even allow to switch to another message. Another MUA I'm using doesn't suffer from this issue, but this MUA suffers from another, way more annoying slowness, when switching from one folder, to another folder with ten thousands of emails, something Evolution doesn't suffer from. I never tried to find out what exactly does cause the delay for some emails received by Evolution, since I receive such emails very seldom and if so they are always irrelevant emails, either Ubuntu Foo-Flavour next image issue reports or spam. It's just annoying to wait a minute or so, before I even can delete such an email. IOW check your HDD with smartctl or your SDD (with what ever software is able to provide the required information) first. If the drive shouldn't be fishy (other hardware less likely does cause this issue), then I wonder, if all emails do cause this delay, or if just some messages do it.
