I have a few 'virtual' folders. Although I have cut down the virtual folder list dramatically as it affected the start up time, I still have about 25 'virtual' folders that I use to split my personal, business and family mail. The Evolution shut down time can run into 10-15 minutes. I have about 46,000 inbox mails and 8000 sent mails that are being processed into the virtual folders. Anyone have any idea as to why it's taking so long?Is your mail retrieved using IMAP, POP or Exchange/EWS, or is it all locally retrieved? How much mail do you have? Have you tried running it from the command line with some of the debugging switches turned on to see what it's doing in that time? (See http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/bugs.shtml as referenced from Help -> Contents)The mail is all POP. 11 active POP mail collection accounts. 46,000 items in the inbox and 8,000 sent, 25 virtual folders. No I haven't run it from the command line as yet, as I thought I'd check to see if it was a common problem here first. If no one else is experiencing a similar issue, I'll try the debug route and see what's happening.
I've seen this. It happens once in a while, without much consistency. Evolution 'grays out' after I hit close and just sits there, and sits there, and sits there.... I shutdown anyway, and there haven't been any issues. When sitting there stalled it really doesn't appear to be doing anything. My *guess* is that the issue is related to the miserable way Evolution handles dropped or lost network connections [basically it pretends they didn't happen and gets all plugged up]. While I have a bit of mail in "Local Computer" almost all my mailboxes are via IMAP [why would anyone use anything else?!]. I have a few large virtual folders.
