[Evolution] What could be wrong?

[Donald Sowers <desowers centurylink net>]

Greetings,

I have been using Evolution (E) for years.  

Lately I am having it freeze.

This morning, I was in email and clicked on calendar and E froze.


I quickly brought up my system monitor, my 4 cores on the processor
usage increased to near maximum and then the percentage of usage starts
to go down as the memory usage increases.  As memory usage gets near
maximum (3.1 GB) the 4 cores usage drop to about 5% which is normal.
Swap is running at 50% usage.

The computer at this stage is very unresponsive but I try to go in and
kill the E process.  Very long wait for a response but it does kill the
process and all goes back to near normal.

If at this point, I start E again the process above is repeated.

The only way I have found to stop E totally is reboot and after boot E
acts as it should.

I am running SolydX.  AMD Phenom II processor.  4gb RAM.  Swap 4gb
64gb SSD drive.   POP3 


What is wrong?  What can I do?

Thanks for any replies.  I have tried many times to go to another email
client but E gives me the best results except for this now freezing
problem.

Thanks in advance,   Don

PS - As the word on the street is, "all email clients suck but this one
sucks less".
