I noticed that moving a message (and especially moving several messages at once) from one IMAP folder to another (on the same IMAP-server) causes evolution often to eat up all memory available in a very short time (about 30 seconds). I also think that if you are connected to an IMAP server already an moving meanwhile a message inside the IMAP server result in the same problem.

The only solution I have found so far is killing evolution as fast as possible and restarting it. This behavior is not deterministic but very good reproduceable. (Moving the same message from a particular folder to another one result sometimes in this memory hog and sometimes not.) Therefore it looks like a race condition somehow.

I have the evolution-data-server 2.22.3-0ubuntu2 however. (evolution is 2.22.3.1-0ubuntu1)
