This bug has always been present in Evo, and has been claimed fixed
various times (the last one was you, on 03/03/2004). In fact, I
submitted a short patch to the debian maintainer (shortens the max. IMAP
command length to 256 bytes) which workarounds it most of the times, so
the version I use at home is mostly OK.
Moreover, I have (perhaps wrongly) understood from your comments about
Evolution's IMAP code that it's in a not-so-good state and was scheduled
for a rewriting in the near future.

Yeah, I saw them, but they were effectively short-lived.
I'll try to let the bug accumulate and reproduce the bug, if you are
interested.
