@Russell: No, it also happened when no mail was being sent. I'm using the past because I got rid of Evolution now (because of this bug, another one involving evolution to hang when a tiff is being previewed and the generally poor performance when handling large amounts of mails) and switched to Sylpheed - something I should've done a few years ago. It's incredible how much Sylpheed is faster - we're speaking operations taking place in the blink of an eye versus taking 10+ seconds like opening folders with tens of thousands of mails in it.
@Sebastien: As I uninstalled Evolution I can't provide backtraces but take a look at this bugreport, there's a workaround posted: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606902 and here are a few backtraces: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595421 -- Uses 100% CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/538849 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evolution-data-server in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
