while syncing large IMAP directory

Package: evolution
Version: 2.2.3-5
Severity: normal
So I added an IMAP account to evolution that's exported by uw-imapd.
Because uw-imapd exports my entire home directory, and not just my
mail, that means that evolution has to grovel through my entire home
directory exploring before it'll let me use my IMAP account. That
takes twenty or thirty minutes.
Now, though, it's done talking to imapd, and it seems to be frozen.
It's not responding to UI events, and it's used 95 minutes of CPU time
without any visible progress. gdb backtraces look like this:

This is very unpleasant, and it all seems rather unecessary to me.
I think it would be better, at the very least, if evolution would
keep itself able to respond to UI events (those dealing with accounts
other than the IMAP account it's chewing over) while this process is
going on. I think it would be rather more ideal if it would also take
less time to initialize an IMAP account. My home directory's decently
large, but not obscene (10 gigabytes in 2882 directories and
subdirectories), and my computer is moderately fast (1 GHz or so).
It would also, of course, be ideal (to put it charitably, IMHO) if
uw-imapd did not export the entire home directory. That bug exists
already, though.
