OK. Sorry. I just got super frustrated and had to vent.
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.I *assume* you are talking about a local mail folder; since you don't say [maildir / POP / IMAP / IMAPX ]
No. Not a local folder. It is IMAPX and the plugins and all are whatever the default Fedora-15 install has.
If you run top or gnome-system-monitor do you see anything *else* running? I've seen this operation take *FOREVER* if the Tracker plugin is enabled [this, I'm convinced, is Tracker's fault, not Evolution's; otherwise Tracker is great].
Nope. No tracker or anything else. Evolution has just been started and I clicked on my LKML (linux kernel mailing list) folder which is a virtual search folder with search set to Any conditions, Recipients contains linux-kernel vger kernel org, Specific header Newsgroups contains linux.kernel, Search folder sources: imapx:zlynx threatwall zlynx org/INBOX Here's a line copied from 'top': 15816 lynx 20 0 1926m 295m 19m R 98.9 7.6 0:16.54 evolution It's already burned 16 seconds and it hasn't even come up with the message list yet.
