Indeed I experience the same or a similar issue, at least a performance issue, if I run Evolution and at least another application that is very resource hungry. I don't have the same problem if I use a GTK 2 based MUA instead, so it might or might not be related to GTK 3 in combination with my computer. The issues I experience with GNOME and Cinnamon are most likely related to the graphics, but when experiencing performance issues, it never can harm to test a lightweight WM/DE. JFTR receiving and storing the received messages works perfect when running Evolution only or Evolution and a few other applications that aren't that resource hungry as virtual box is. Btw. when running a distro that provides a complete environment by a default install, it can't harm to check, if all started services are needed. If I wouldn't use Arch Linux, but install Suse or Debian etc., I would do an "expert" install or what ever it's called. IMO it's better to spend a few minutes to chose what we need, instead of having tons of unneeded services running, that could cause trouble. Perhaps I'm to pedantic, since I use my Linux much for real-time audio work, maybe no unneeded service has really impact to an application as Evolution. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
