Package: evolution Version: 2.6.3-1 Severity: important Very often evolution crashes on startup -- this happens to me since 2.6.3-1 entered testing. I'm sure that the problem is in the mail component and namely, the vfolders. I have several vfolders, but they scan all my local mail, which includes hundreds of directories and subdirectories. Typically, it takes about 10 minutes to scan everything on a fairly powerful machine (Pentium IV 3 GHz). Today, I cannot start it already 3 hours (tried hundreds of times) and I managed to get a backtrace. It is different every time, i.e. on every crash at frame #1 it shows another dir.
I solved the problem by removing entirely ~/.evolution/mail/vfolder. Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
