Certainly not. Some people have gigabytes in their inboxes :-) > To work around the conversion problem I followed > some advice I found on the Ubuntu forums.

That sounds like it could be the culprit. Fooling Evo into not reindexing on conversion sounds like a really bad idea, given that the index system has completely changed with 2.24. In your place I would try to back out those changes and start again. At least revert the registry stuff (with gnome-conf turned off of course). You did take a backup before trying this didn't you? poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
