Does anyone know why Evolution spends all of its time "Generating message list"? When I click on any folder to read it, it generates a message list. When I move a message to a different folder it generates a message list. When I double click on a message in a folder that is not using the Preview pane, it generates a message list. This operation appears to consume up to 30 seconds of CPU time each and every time it runs. It's hell on laptop battery life using 30 seconds of speed boost every couple of minutes. Yes, I have over 30,000 messages in the inbox. No, this should not cause any problem to a serious email program. mutt has no problem. Thunderbird has no problem. Now, Mail.app does have a problem but I don't consider it a serious email app. Evolution *used to* perform acceptably well, back in the 2.something versions when I used to run a Linux laptop in 2006. Now that I'm running the 3.0 version in Fedora 15 it appears to have turned to crap. What happened? So, am I doing something wrong, or have the Evolution developers forgotten the basics of O(n) data structure analysis. -- Knowledge Is Power Power Corrupts Study Hard Be Evil
