a trouble with Evolution (FC6): Loading never ends

Hello,

I just re-installed (and not upgrade) a computer from FC4 to FC6.
I have now installed all updates.

A user of mine has the following problem: evolution fails with:
	> address at ens.fr
	    Loading
and it never ends.

Some elements:
. the protocol is IMAP
. Squirrelmail, also using IMAP, works.
  So the problem is on the client evolution and not on the server.
. the problem is not within the local files of the user
  ( ~/.evolution, ~/.gconf/apps/evolution, ~/.gnome2_private/Evolution).
  I set up a new fresh login, I configure evolution to have an account to
  use IMAP and I get the same problem.

. with a working evolution session, evolution says to the IMAP server:
  (thanks to 'tcpdump -A -s2000'):
	A00000 CAPABILITY
	A00001 LOGIN XXXXX YYYYY
	A00002 NAMESPACE
	A00003 LIST "" {1+} \n *
	A00004 LSUB "" {1+} \n *
	A00005 LIST "" {1+} \n *
	A00006 LSUB "" {1+} \n *
	A00007 LIST "" {1+} \n *
	A00008 LSUB "" {1+} \n *
	A00009 SELECT INBOX
	....
. here my failing session is:
	A00000 CAPABILITY
	A00001 LOGIN ZZZZZZZ AAAAAAAA
	A00002 NAMESPACE
	A00003 LIST "" {1+} \n *
		.... a list of ~70.000 entries terminated with:
		A00003 OK LIST completed
  and nothing more... There is never a 'A00004 LSUB' or 'A00004 SELECT INBOX'.

Any idea?

NB: ~user/.evolution is 1 Gb. I have to be cautious!
