Milan, Thanks for the reply. I hadn't seen you message and had already started Evolution from the command line with CAMEL_DEBUG=all set. Prior to that Evolution started automatically as normal this morning - so to restart with debug, I had to close it down. What I saw (in the status bar and messages was) was basically: 8:30 - I started the shutdown by clicking on the close window button 8:31 - SB -Checking Folder Consistency 8:40 - SB - Fetching Mail Messages followed by Checking Consistency 8:41 - Notification appeared of 3 new mail messages 8:50 - SB -Fetching mail and checking consistency again 8:57 - Evolution finally closed down I have the mail set to collect from the pop servers every 10 minutes so that partially explains the 8:40 and 8:50 messages - but it seems odd that it attempts (and succeeds) to collect mail even after I have requested a shut down (I'm not sure what that achieves). Maybe that is what is protracting the shutdown? I'm about to close down again now to see what the debug file shows > _______________________________________________ > evolution-list mailing list > evolution-list@gnome.org > To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
