(BTW: my initial message never arrived at the list - but this follow-up includes that original missed post). So I did a little more experimentation today - and this problem is almost certainly in the maildir code somewhere. First, I opened my inbox (in maildir format) and attempted to access a newly created vFolder. I observed the symptoms described below. I changed to a tty and issued a killev. I re-ran evolution, and using the Folder Properties item on the menu (by the way - there are two - is that intentional?) I converted (using evo) my mailbox to mh format. I was then able to access the vFolder without trouble. I ran the same test, converting the mh mailbox to mbox, again the vFolder worked just fine. I then converted (again, using evo) the mbox back to mh, and once again, vFolders lock up evolution. Hope this turns a lightbulb on for someone...
