Another data point: In Preferences -> Mail Preferences -> HTML Messages, checking the ''Never load images from the Internet" options solves the problem for me. The "Unknown background operation" status notifications go away when I do this.
This leads me to believe that the bug is related to webkit html mail display fetching images gone awry. This still happens with the update to Quantal's evolution of today (Jan 18). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1085107 Title: evolution hangs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/1085107/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
