Greetings, I have applied all of the patches available with no change in status. In order to use evolution at all, I deleted all meta info files as well as all of the index files. I then restarted Evolution. I now have access to Evolution and all of my email. However, now when I attempt to retrieve email, it is EXTREMELY slow -- almost unusable. I don't know what else to try now. Any suggestions?
