The thing is like this, everytime evo needs to refresh messages, (mbox format) it needs to re-parse/re-indexes the folders. (This is esp. true for /var/spool/mail/$whoami folders.) I get hang up every so often when new messages are in the mail folder.That cannot be avoided if you chose this slow method of accessing your email. You should be using 'local delivery' option and copying mail into evolution itself.
Okay.. I just re-looked at the options and I just noticed the "local delivery" option. Pardon me but I don't get the explanation. Standard mbox For reading and storing local main in external mbox spool mail local delivery For retrieving(moving) local mail from standard mbox formatted spools into folders managed by evolution Does local delivery means it will check /var/spool/mail/`whoami` for new mails and then move those mails from that spool directory to the Evolution's "On This Computer" folder? (in the Inbox Folder?) Currently what is happening is, all new mails gets sent to mbox in /var/spool/mail/`whoami`, I scan that mbox for new mails and filter those messages to "On this computer" 's respective folders under "INBOX" Does this local delivery means, evo will sort of like POP the mails from the mbox spool and automatically transfer the emails into "On This Computer" (& the respective folders?) -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
