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

Hello,

I have searched the archives and can't seem to find anything on this

problem.  I am running

Evolution 1.4 on Gentoo-stable (all stable but Evolution and a couple of

other userland apps).  I

am running against a FreeBSD-Stable server which is running SSL/IMAP on

993.  Evolution

takes around 60seconds to start up and enter my account on this server.  I

have checked it

via Kmail and it enters the same account in ~5-10seconds so it appears

that it isn't a simple

server issue.

I'd love to use Evolution as my primary groupware client, however, the

slow refresh/startup is

killing me.

-Rob

Three observations:

1) First-time startup of a new IMAP account can take an unusually long
time in Evolution; this is primarily due to indexing mail in order to
allow subsequent searches to be fast.  The first time Evolution is used
with a given IMAP account will subsequently be unusually slow, but it's
not representative of how it will work in subsequent sessions.  I'm not
sure this explains the problem you're seeing, but it's worth mentioning.

2) I also take about a minute to get fully updated over remote IMAP.
Given that I have in excess of 60,000 messages and a large volume, I'm
not convinced that's unreasonable in my case. YMMV.

3) An IMAP rewrite is planned for 1.6 that should address a number of
problems in the current version, and I suspect that certain performance
issues are included.

I have removed and created the directories, the addressbook.db file is
not created, the .ics files for tasks and calender are created, however
they cannot be opened by evolution.  When I try to access them I get a
error message "Could not load the tasks in
'file:///home/XXX/evolution/local/Tasks' "  and the status bar shows
opening tasks at file:///home/XXX/evolution/local/Tasks/Tasks.ics (...)

When I try to open the address book I get the usual verify it exists
check permissions due to the fact the file does not exist.
The XML files are the same as the one you sent.

Starting evolution from the command line then switching from the inbox
to the tasks file gives the following

$ evolution
(Killing old version of Wombat...)
calendar-gui-Message: e_tasks_open(): Could not issue the request

Well, there is the Contacts database missing. There should be a file
addressbook.db in this directory.

As (if) there is really no such file, you cannot loose anything. You
could try removing the Contacts and recreating it (both using
Evolution). You will have to set them in the Settings as autocompletion
source again.


What does your folder-metadata.xml files contain, do they look sane?

$ cat evolution/local/Contacts/folder-metadata.xml

Subject: [Evolution] IMAP issues with Evolution 1.4

Hi:

I've recently installed Ximian desktop 2.0 on my Suse 8.2 computer and I
am having issues with getting IMAP in Evolution 1.4 to work. Whenever I
connect to my IMAP server the message 'Scanning folders in IMAP
server....' displays for a couple of minutes but no email is ever
downloaded.  I noticed that the pre-release of 1.4 had an issue that
required you to remove and recreate your IMAP account. I tried that but
it still didn't work.  I can get my mail via IMAP from Mozilla with no
problem. I get prompted for a login and if I enter the wrong password I
get an error, so I know it can connect to the server.

Anybody have any ideas?

thanks

not to harp on this, but the evolution imap support is not that good..i
gave up a couple off months ago and switched to offlineimap
(http://gopher.quux.org:70/devel/offlineimap/), it does imap real well
and turns the imap emails into md folders which evo can read real well!
So no loss of functionality and on top of that offline email reading
(yes including attachments which evo seems to forget all the time).

Also sending is much faster using md folders: with over 15,000 emails in
my Sent folder using IMAP under evo means minutes of scanning time each
time i send an email (yes i know it is the imap protocol fault not
evo's). With md folder it is local so instantaneous.

Ah, I see them. All of the folders are there, Sent, for example, and

folder-metadata.xml

mbox.ibex.index
mbox.ibex.index.data

mbox is huge, 25M or so as I would expect it to be. So the data is still
there (whew!)

Looking into some of the other folders I can make out much the same as

So I guess the puzzle is, how come the messages prior to the upgrade
have disappeared from the folders list in evo? Is there a master index
or something?


"Warnings" are somewhat peculiar. I get no errors at all during startup.

dies.


You have to run it in a terminal to see the warnings?



The upgrade initially broke the link to the icon - it wouldn't launch at
all. Launching from a terminal window would bring it up, but I got
absolutely no error messages or warnings at all, but I then had the
sporadic crashes I mentioned previously. OTOH, I've now been pounding on
it for a couple of hours and things seem to be stable. I'll try to send
traces if I get another crash.


Also, if you have important data, you should always back it up (you
never know when a hdd will die, for example).



So right, and indeed I do have the data elsewhere (it just lives in a
big archive file on the server, courtesy of procmail.) But the mere
thought of having to paw through Gbytes just to find that one message
makes me shiver. I suppose it's time to dust off grepmail :-)

Subject: [Evolution] Evo 1.4 -- Killing X?

I have noticed an increasing problem of late, on my Debian/unstable
workstation. I'm running Evo 1.4.0 from deb from the Debian archive.

The problem I have seen manifests itself in one of two ways. Either the
X process will run away on me (CPU pegs with the prime offender being
XFree86 at something like 99.7%. I can't get the display to come up at
the console and generally have to ssh in and kill X), or when working at
the console, I will do something and it will cause X to kick me out and
go back to an xdm login.

The thing that I have noticed several times is that the activity that
causes me to be kicked out when sitting at the console is clicking the
Send/Receive in Evo. I had it happen to me just this morning with one
Eterm and evo running. I am beginning to suspect that the runaway
processes (which generally happen overnight when evo is running as
opposed to during the day when it is not) is also evo autochecking mail.
Has anyone seen behavior similar to this? Is there a fix for it?

Thanks,
--
