Today I have received rather big mail. It was of 80,000 text lines, which gives us about 6MB, but other than that it was pure ASCII text. It's automatically generated message with some sort of alarms, so sometimes it happens. This message has practically killed Evolution and in fact the whole desktop. Evolution generated so much disk activity that any type of work on my desktop was impossible. I have been left without email during critical work time, and I had to spent more than 1.5 hours trying to figure out what happened to my desktop. I only got back to normal when I manually edited my incoming mailbox on IMAP server, and found and removed corresponding cache file under .evolution hierarchy on my desktop.
I am using evolution-2.6.0-1 on 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 #1 Tue Mar 14 15:48:33 EST 2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux running in VMware Workstation 4.5.2 I am stubborn enough to continue with Evolution for a while trying to figure out how it can suite my needs both at work and at home. But I tend to agree with some people on this list this software is still far far from completion. Those nice looking revision numbers 2.4, 2.6, etc. cannot hide a fact that Evolution is really a beta.
