Without CONDSTORE support, Evolution needs ridiculous amounts of both time and bandwidth to synchronise such a folder's flags. When online, this happens each time you click on a folder in Evolution. Without immediately writing to disk work, the download by itself will consume around 120 MB of RAM, and will most likely fail due to network timeouts and other such problems (it'll take a while, since Evolution fetches a ridiculous large amount of headers for each message for building its summary). -- Philip Van Hoof, software developer home: me at pvanhoof dot be gnome: pvanhoof at gnome dot org http://www.pvanhoof.be/blog _______________________________________________ Evolution-hackers mailing list Evolution-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
