I'm not sure where the usability tipping point is, but let's say it is a few hundred thousand. > Would you agree that > most people doesn't have several hundred thousand mails in their > inboxes, even the ones that use email on a regular basis? Sure, any that don't use evolution for NNTP as well. > Further, you complain about having reported this bug more than a month > ago and that nothing has happened.

As I said, not very difficult at all, for anyone interested in trying to reproduce it. > You would have to subscribe to > some fairly heavy loaded mailinglists for your inbox to grow to 418k > messages in a month, wouldn't you? No. These are newsgroups, not mailing lists. You subscribe to a group and instantly get the many (tens or hundreds of) thousands of messages that have ever been posted to the list in your summary database. Probably a single subscription to lkml (which I tried once but had to manually remove because it made evo *completely* unusable) would reveal the problems, but I would suggest creeping up to that kind of capacity with just subscribing a number of groups in the tens of thousands counts. > And then the bug hunt is supposed > to begin. For somebody that has worked the vfolder code, I'd imagine finding the hogs would not be terribly difficult. Oprofile would probably be extremely useful here. > I think your expectations are a bit > high, don't you? Look. I don't need your sarcasm.

I misread a single order of magnitude while the real difference should be 2 or 3 orders of magnitude different. Why are you splitting hairs here? Do you really think this is constructive? b.
