Unable to fetch mail after system upgrade

I use Evolution as the mail client for several months and everything goes fine, however, since last week, (or several days ago, I'm not quite certain), It always hangs when fetching new mails. More specifically, it hangs after the POP3 summary is successfully fetched. That is, the total amount of new mails is correctly shown, while the mail contents could not be downloaded from the server. I tried two other mail client, sylpheed & balsa, while the former worked perfectly, the latter hanged just exactly as what evolution did. Different mail servers were also tested, the results showed that all POP3 protocal based opertations were failed, but nothing wrong was found for the SMTP & IMAP based operations.
Does any one has any idea? Is is possible that Evolution & Balsa share some buggy library which functions as the POP3 mail fetcher?
