Hi Smith, Would you mind removing your .evolution/mail/exchange and .evolution/exchange directories and try 2.11.5? This is to just verify whether the internal-migration happened successfully or not.
Well, the first time when 2.11.5 runs, it migrates the existing summary to the new summary format. The performance improvement is based on this migration. If you try with cache removed, the first time it will be like what it was in previous versions and after that, when evolution is restarted you will be able to notice the difference. Thanks, V.
