[Evolution] evolution-mail processes



Whenever I run evo, it starts up 6 (6!!) evolution-mail processes, each
at ~15M, yielding ~90M.  Why do you start 6, and why does my 'ps aux'
output look like:

carl      8179  0.0  5.9 25184 15388 ?       S    09:14   0:11

It seems that 8179 is the only one that actually uses cpu cycles, all
others are idle.  I have a feeling at other times I've seen even more
mail processes running, up to 8 max I believe.  Even so, why so many?
I'm actually running out of memory for other apps... (granted, netscape
sucks up ~118M quite easily, and drives the X server skywards, so I'm
not really blaming evo, but still...)

Regards,
Carl
