Evolution consuming 50% cpu on FC 16
Hi, My Inbox has about 20+ sub-folders. If I click on the Inbox folder the cpu consumption would spike to 50% and stays there. When I click on any of the sub-folders the cpu will go down to 0%. My Evolution is converted from an old version(FC11). I converted it by first creating a backup and then do a restore. I receive email by 'Local Delivery' and send email using 'Sendmail'. Any idea what is causing the 50+% spike in CPU? Thanks.

Hi, > does this happen with other 'top' folders or is it just your Inbox folder? The Inbox is the the top folder with 20+ sub-folders. Message will go in to the Inbox folders and moved to the sub-folders by message filters. > being that Inbox folder for accounts receive _all_ emails first, it may be that a filter routine is constantly checking Inbox for new emails. I have quite a number of filters but I don't experience this in my previous version of Evolution.

Hi,
Tried your script. It seems to have worked. Evolution is 0% cpu.
Thanks a lot.
