Re: [Evolution] 1.4 Starting VERY slow with SSL/IMAP

["Rob Snow" <lists dympna com>]

Let me give the entire setup so I don't leave anything out: 
 
Server: 
FreeBSD-Stable (4.8) 
UW-IMAP 2002(a) SSL/Cleartext passwords 
IMAP folders = ~/mail/ 
UNIX format (flatfiles) 
Celeron 850 + 768MB of RAM 
100Mbit 
 
Client: 
Gentoo-stable (except for Evo and a couple of other userland apps) 
Evo 1.4 (from the masked ebuild in portage) 
Setup to connect forced SSL 
Evo has the password 
Athlon-XP 2.0GHz + 512MB RAM 
100Mbit 
 
The mail account in question has about ~360MB of mail in it, mostly under 
~/mail/Archives. 
 
Evolution takes around 60seconds from launch to become usable.  Kmail takes 
~5-10seconds on the same account, server, etc. 
 
I will add that there are a few other files in the /mail/ directory due to my usage of 
OpenWebMail as my prmary mail client at this time.  Those files are .db's, etc. (don't 
imagine they are a problem, but including their existence for completeness)
