Once I successfully start Evolution (e.g. on the second try), there may be one or two of the 80 messages in my Inbox. If I try to delete any messages, they are 'struck through' but I must wait for, say, 10 minutes before they are moved into the Wastebox. If I try to quit Evolution (CTRL-Q) that may also not go to completion for about 10 minutes. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
