Thank you, Guenther, for the reply. It is somewhat reassuring that I am not the only one experiencing it.
If others can confirm that this behavior is to be expected, please let me know and I will switch to another mail client. I can't imagine telling anyone to switch from Outlook on Windows to Evolution on Linux and, oh, by the way, you will have to stop typing for 5 seconds every minute! As I said in my original post (perhaps that has gotten lost), this was not a problem in the Evolution that came with Mandrake 9.1, so if anyone has a solution, please let me know (other than re-installing the old Mandrake)! I am also open to any work-around, and if someone thinks it is just my installation that is broken and knows how to fix it, that would be welcome information too! - J Black ________________ On Wed, 2004-01-21 at 13:00, guenther wrote: > > Whenever I'm editing a message and typing away, the compose window > > freezes for about 5 seconds every 60 seconds.
