Re: [Evolution] evolution slowing down

[jack wallen <jlwallen monkeypantz net>]

i'm using pop3. i clean out my inbox regularly so it currently only has
56 messages in it. i probably get 200-300 messages a day (including
spam). i am on a cable modem and typically have very good speeds. 

i have a backup folder that is set up through procmail (which delivers
all my local mail to /var/spool/mail/user).  here's a sample of contents
of one of the folders (this is Inbox):

-rwxrwxrwx  1 jlwallen jlwallen     103 Mar  9 20:22 folder-metadata.xml
-rw-------  1 jlwallen jlwallen      95 Jul 26 14:35 local-metadata.xml
-rw-------  1 jlwallen jlwallen 1027818 Jul 26 15:22 mbox
-rw-------  1 jlwallen jlwallen   13737 Jul 26 15:22 mbox.ev-summary
-rw-------  1 jlwallen jlwallen   92160 Jul 26 15:18 mbox.ibex.index
-rw-------  1 jlwallen jlwallen   75792 Jul 26 15:18
mbox.ibex.index.data

does that help any?
