try suspending your laptop, go to home/work and open evolution there on another box... Then you got 500 mails that you have previously deleted/filtered... I found *lots* of complaints about this on google. and many users on ubuntu forums complain about this evolution behavior. It is bad for mail admin? Maybe they should stop using mbox and then they don't have to rewrite 500Mb mail box files :) The good news is that I tested Thunderbird 2, and it *works as expected*, nice and smoothly. Google shows me that people are moving from Evo to Thunderbird for the same reason... I have also found an old (2002) Evo bug report with a user complaining about the same thing and it was closed with "Won't fix". So, my understanding is that *at least* there should be an option that allows automatic expunge of folders. Or if you want, automatic expunge every "n" minutes or seconds.
