Wade,

I don't know if you remember, but when you were moving off of Thunderbird I 
recommended you find a mail program that used Maildir instead of Mbox because 
of the amount of mail you have.  What you are experiencing now is why.

What you might do is convert your Mbox to maildir (there are scripts out there 
to do this - install Kmail and import it if all else fails) then you can your 
grep or other file system tools to find the offending message.  Then, if you 
sill want to use Evolution, convert the Maildirs back to an Mbox and go from 
there.
