Hi there, hackers. While appending a message to an IMAP folder, Evolution consumes the entire message into memory.
At the Tinymail project (which is a lib that uses a modified Camel) we are not planning to rewrite this right now: it's not blocking any of the Modest bugs (Modest is an E-mail client using Tinymail). Right now a stable release for Modest has a priority over implementing new features that promise better memory usage. It's however trivial to implement this one. I added comments how to do it to Tinymail's camel-lite's camel-imap-folder.c http://tinymail.org/trac/tinymail/changeset/3554 If somebody is interested in this, I think it's a nice contribution, very localised in scope (it's just this function) and good way to get your hands dirty on Evolution's IMAP code. Being code addicts, we all love to get our hands dirty, right? The function is unmodified in Tinymail's camel-lite (other than the comment). Your patch would, after being tested, go downstream into Tinymail too. Of course. -- Philip Van Hoof, freelance software developer home: me at pvanhoof dot be gnome: pvanhoof at gnome dot org http://pvanhoof.be/blog http://codeminded.be _______________________________________________ Evolution-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
