Brian, I was able to resolve the issue. What I did was most likely more of a fluke than anything.... I moved .evolution to evolution_orig and then started evolution. It created a new .evolution and started up with the basic folders, etc. I then closed out the application and did the following: 1) removed .evolution 2) moved evoltuion_orig to .evolution 3) restarted evolution Since I did that the mail program has been running fine. Actually it is better than fine. It is really smoking fast now. Not sure what I cleared, deleted, or released but it fixed it. Thoughts? -Patrick --------------------------------- Brian J.

I've analysed it and it seems to open a lot of pipes, my guess is between threads or something. b. |
