I logged into the webmail account for this primary email account, and
had 15 pages of spam messages.  I deleted them all via the web
interface, cleaned up my local evo by going off-line, dropping
the .ev-summary files, and restarting, and it's working ok again.  I
can't figure out what went wrong, except that there was a message
somewhere in those pages that was causing evo some heartburn...
