My system brings its mail into $MAIL (/var/spool/mail/jonrysh) using
fetchmail, which evolution incorporates as a Local Delivery File.
Frequently, almost always immediately after starting the system,
evolution incorporates some mail and then hangs. Attempts to exit
evolution using File->Quit fail: the folders panel goes gray, but
evolution never terminates; same result from clicking the (X) on the
window decorations. If evolution is terminated using
evolution --force-shutdown
and then restarted the mail in $MAIL is usually incorporated OK, though
sometimes it takes more than one try. When this is done, many messages
are incorporated twice.
Judging from the X-Mailer header field, you are using Evolution 3.12.11 (3.12.11-1.fc21). Is that correct? To my knowledge, mbox is not used as often as Maildir, so there might indeed be problems. When Evolution hangs, could you please install the debug symbol package, attach with GDB, `gdb --pid $theevolutionpid`, and provide a backtrace (`set logging on /tmp/20150309--evolution-hang--backtrace.txt`, `t a a bt f`)?
One odd thing is that $MAIL shows a file size of 0 once the
incorporation process has started, even though mail is incorporated OK
after evolution is restarted. Example:
$ ls -l $MAIL
-rw-rw----. 1 jonrysh mail 0 Mar 9
11:47 /var/spool/mail/jonrysh
Anyone know what's going on or how to fix?
Very strange. Hopefully somebody else can help. Thanks, Paul PS: It’d be awesome, if you would just send plain text messages to mailing list with no HTML parts.
