Mark,

Yes that helped. Your script worked and I don't get the 100% cpu
utilization anymore. I had just switched to mozilla-thunderbird when I
saw your email. I think I'm going to continue using evolution now.
Although, thunderbird is a nice client. It just doesn't have the
tasks/calendar/reminders.

Anyway, thanks!
Tom
