Evolution hangs while performing IMAP functions

[Jeff Lane ]

Binary package hint: evolution

Unfortunately, I don't have much more at this moment than an expansion of the summary.

Frequently, daily, actually, Evolution will hang while accessing IMAP mailboxes and the status message usually hangs at:

0% Filtering New Messages

It'll sit that way for hours if I allow it to (I let it sit overnight once just to see), and if I try to exit (via the X window button) the window dims and still hangs forever. I usually have to pkill -9 evolution to get rid of it and start over.

This behaviour ALSO seems to occur sometimes when it's trying to access an IMAP contact list as well (I have it configured to use Canonical's IMAP directory for e-mail completion.)

So the common theme is IMAP usage.

I currently have it configured to use two IMAP mail servers, one for work and one that is privately hosted by me in a remote datacenter.
