Very Slow when doing send/receive on pop access to Exchange

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20030131 Description of problem: I am attempting to use evo to connect to my exchange server using POP mail. In previous versions it seemed ok...but now when you do a send/recieve it takes up to about 3 minutes to complete when there are no new messages at all(mail is stored on the server and not deleted). I only experience this when connecting to exchange, when I connect to sendmail MTA's all seems very responsive.. It is almost like something is timing out? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.2.2-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Add an account that connects to the exchange server using pop 2.do a send/recieve 3. Actual Results: very slow...I understand the slowness the first time..it has to download all mail, but every time after that should be speedy shouldn't it? Expected Results: Resonsive send/recieve when there is no new mail... Additional info:
If you run CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG=1 evolution-mail from a terminal and then start evolution once that's ready, is there a lot of traffic between the local client and the Exchange server?

I am seeing this too. Can this bug be reopened ? Evolution 1.2.2-5 (RH9) is showing big performance problems with fetching mail from a pop server. I have a cable connection to the internet (~800Kbit/s download) Receiving new messages from my pop server seems to be exponential. 3 new messages: about 7 seconds 12 new messages: about 3-5 minutes 15 new messages: about 30 mintues 35 new messages: haven't seen this finish.... top shows that evolution is spending 100% cpu. (It isn't spending any noticably) As I get typically >35 messages a day this really is a problem :) Accessing the same mail server from a webmail interface is very responsive. Any more details I can provide ?
Whoops a typo >top shows that evolution is spending 100% cpu. (It isn't spending any noticably) This shoud be: top shows that evolution is _not_ spending 100% cpu. (It isn't spending any cpu noticably)
OK, I found the cause of the slowlyness of evolution. Its not caused by evolution. It was spamassassin. I am using spamassassin from evolution to check each message. spamassassin uses osirusoft.com to check wether it comes from a known spamsite. osirusoft.com is down... -> spamassassin checking takes for ages. Creating the following file: /etc/mail/spamassassin/no-osiru.cf with the following content: score RCVD_IN_OSIRUSOFT_COM 0 score X_OSIRU_DUL 0 score X_OSIRU_DUL_FH 0 score X_OSIRU_OPEN_RELAY 0 score X_OSIRU_SPAM_SRC 0 score X_OSIRU_SPAMWARE_SITE 0 fixed the problem completely for me.
