My normal inbox runs between 1500 and 2000 messages.
It does take evolution a bit of time to start up with it.
My spamscreen folder is set to purge after 2 days as well, but it
still gets about 3000 messages, and it takes evolution about two
minutes to do whataever caching its doing before putting my first
"training message of the day" into it.
I'm not sure we fully understand what the problem is here. Yes,
there is a performance problem, but I'm not convinced that the
problem lies within evolution.
Again, are you accessing AFS through a NAT router?
