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.
I vaguely remember other issues with IMAPX - is it possible for you to
change it to plain IMAP?
Here's a line copied from 'top':
15816 lynx 20 0 1926m 295m 19m R 98.9 7.6 0:16.54 evolution
How much memory does your system have? Evo is using nearly 2Gb of
memory with only 295Mb resident - so it is probably swapping lots which
will be slowing things down a lot. In top how is that 99% CPU time
being split between the various run states - i.e what does the "Cpu(s):"
line say - mine currently says:
Cpu(s): 4.7%us, 1.5%sy, 0.0%ni, 93.4%id, 0.0%wa, 0.2%hi, 0.1%si, 0.0%st
which is fairly normal. You need to be worried if the 'sy' and 'wa'
times are high.
In any case, I suspect that most of that memory is your Inbox - how big
is your inbox (as in Mb, not number of messages)?
It may well be worth while just seeing how the system behaves if you
disable the search folders - does the memory usage decrease now it
doesn't have to process all the messages in the Inbox all the time.
