Hi,
what is your evolution version, please?
You can run evolution as:
$ evolution -c mail
which opens in a Mail view, which is not freezing your system.
By the way, the freeze/slowdown of the system is due to high swap use.
Please install debuginfo packages for evolution-data-serer and
evolution, then see which processes are using the CPU (it can be
evolution, or evolution-calendar-factory in this case) and then get a
backtrace of that one with gdb command:
$ gdb --batch --ex "t a a bt" -pid=`pidof evolution` &>bt.txt
Please check the bt.txt for any private information, like passwords,
email address, server addresses,... I usually search for "pass" at
least (quotes for clarity only).
Then it can be searched whether the issue is known or new.
As you get this when switching to a Calendar view, what Calendars,
Memo lists and Task lists do you have configured? On This
Computer/Personal is a default one for each of them.
Bye,
Milan
