Public bug reported:
Evolution, when I click on "send/receive" messages, or automatically
when I view a particular IMAP mailbox (which is set to make messages
available offline, which might or might not be relevant), spends forever
(several hours so far, and I have no reason to think it will end) with
"Retrieving message '19464' from INBOX" (twice), "Retrieving message
'18840' from INBOX", "Refreshing folder INBOX", and "Checking for new
mail" as progress items in the status bar. That particular mailbox lists
messages it contains but just displays "Retrieving message '19464'" in
the place where the email itself is normally displayed when I try to
view the most recent email when clicking on it (and adds another copy of
"Retrieving message '19464' from INBOX" to the status bar); the rest of
the interface, and other mailboxes, work correctly. Evolution is also
using an appreciable proportion of my CPU power.
This happens consistently each time I load the program and navigate to
that email. Evolution cannot be closed normally while the progress
messages are shown; they just get stuck at "(cancelling)" and it doesn't
close, not with the normal close button nor with SIGTERM (I have to
resort to SIGKILL).
I don't know whether or not the IMAP server I'm trying to connect to is
having issues, and it seems likely that it is, given that my other IMAP
mailboxes work fine. Nonetheless, Evolution should not be unresponsive
in this way no matter how the server it's connecting to responds.
