It does not helps me.

evolution eats 100% CPU by single thread on startup and does it for
about 130 sec

It's completely unresponsive while that.

It is not fresh gnome issue. 
Such problem was introduced somewhere between 2.2 and 2.6 (do not
remember exactly).

Probably same or similar problem appears some-times when I move message
from folder to folder after selection of destination folder.

Have no any idea how to fight with it, but it is really annoying.
