The problem seems circumvented, although I do not know why. The problem went away when I do NOT override the server-supplied folder namespace.
Previously, in Lucid, in Account Editor, under the 'Receiving Options' tab, in the 'Folders' section I had selected 'Override server-supplied folder namespace' and had provided my mailbox folder in the associated Namespace edit box. In Lucid, this was the only way I could prevent Evolution from downloading my entire home directory on the university servers. I was experiencing the problems in my original post with these settings carried over from Lucid. By deselecting the 'Override server-supplied folder namespace' option, the problem appears to have gone away. However, this is not entirely satisfying, as I'm not sure how this problem arose in the first place. Please let me know how I can help. -- evolution 100% cpu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/632576 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evolution in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
