Re: [Evolution] Possible memory leak somewhere in evolution-mail

[Pascal DeMilly <list evolution newgenesys com>]

I wonder if it has anything to do with Virtual folders on IMAP folders.
Frankly, I seldom use virtual folders as I have my own mail server and
create new e-mail addresses at will according to the subject on hand.
(kind of pre-sorting). 

But once in a while I will create a filter with a vFolder to find a
message among my myriad of e-mail accounts. It was certainly the case
these last few weeks when I started noticing some kind of memory leak.

I've just deleted the vFolder and it seems to not leak anymore but only
time will tell.

Regards

Pascal
