Which references this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/197290 Many years ago perl under Red Hat did not come packaged with large file support. The solution was to rebuild the package with the parameter enabling large file support. Evolution under Ubuntu may require a similar solution. Rebuilding the package under Red Hat was fairly simple, a one-liner if I recall correctly. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do the equivalent under Ubuntu/Debian. If we wanted to go down that route, I would start by having a simple test, ideally a test case that anyone can create and use quickly. In this case, a simple test would be to somehow create (i.e. a script or command) a mail folder with a mailfile that is 1.9 GB and another mail folder with a mailfile that is 2.2 GB. Once we have a test, then it's a mater of using Evolution to open one then the other mailfile, rebuild, and repeat, until Evolution can open both mailfiles. The solution may be as simple as adding the gcc flag -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 when compiling Evolution, or it may be as complicated as adding the gcc flag -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 to every single Evolution dependency.
