Description Peter Robinson 2011-11-02 16:13:50 UTC

Not sure if this is an issue with evolution or evolution-mapi.

There's a process that runs on occasion that displays in the status bar at the bottom that basically says "removing deleted messages from the cache". The process sits there and thrashes the hard disk and when it eventually finishes it has removed masses amount of email that it shouldn't have as part of the process. Invariably the mail that remains in the local cache from the exchange server dates back a couple of years. To get my email back I need to restart evolution where it then proceeds to take ages and downloads all the messages again from the server which also takes masses of CPU and time and it'll often be 30+ minutes before I get back a view of my current and recent mail.

This use to happen with evo 3.0 on Fedora 15 too so its not exactly new to F-16.

Thanks for the bug report. I didn't notice anything like this upstream, thus I'm moving it there. Please CC yourself there [1], in case of additional questions or concerns. Just a note, I'm doing semi-massive changes in evolution-mapi, taking advantages of openchange-0.11, all that for 3.4. One significant part will be that the message download will be quicker.
