I found out that the GConf key /apps/evolution/mail/accounts is written over and over again with the same value. Two subsequently written .gconf/%gconf-tree.xml files only differ in the "mtime" attribute of the <entry> tag.
-<entry name="accounts" mtime="1241449762" muser="hansi" type="list" ltype="string"> +<entry name="accounts" mtime="1241449758" muser="hansi" type="list" ltype="string"> BTW: GConf is a hierarchical config store implemented as an XML file on disk, so, why store XML strings as values? Shouldn't it be enough to use GConf's hierarchy instead of introducing a new extra "private" hierarchy? 2nd point: Previously I removed .evolution/mail/vfolder/folders.db before starting Evolution which seems to give some mild cure to its problems for a while. When I exited it with the Close button of the window, the GConf activity was over quite early, so it seems its not indefinite in every case.
