Yes, I haven't seen it in a long time so rather forgot about it. I knew about the Offline/Online toggle of course, but can't remember right now if it worked as well as restarting Evo. If I can find something in the archives I'll post it here. I'm almost certain I did mention it on the list a long time ago, probably for Evo 2.x > In any case, the UI itself is not supposed to be locked, all the > network operations are ran in their own threads, not in the main/UI > thread, thus for example the window repaints when other window is moved > above it. As I recall the UI never locked. Indeed one of the symptoms was that I would switch folders, see that the new folder was taking an age to refresh, switch again, see the same thing again, etc., all the while seeing a growing list of pending operations on the status pane. My question was always "why doesn't Evo just have a short timeout on the folder I'm not looking at and prioritise the one I *am* looking at? It can't rely on folder status being completely in synch anyway and is going to check again if I come back to that folder, so it shouldn't insist to the detriment of the user experience." poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
