Evolution 2.12.0 oftenly accessing disk for a long period

[Tien Nguyen]

Binary package hint: evolution

Oftenly, especially when I click to choose a different mail folder, Evolution start accessing disk heavily and brought the system to its knees. Hardly I can do anything else for about a minute or two and then it is back to normal.

[Tien Nguyen (tienhn)]

Thank you for your bug report. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try to reproduce with the latest version of Evolution, 2.21.90?

Thanks again!
