I have manually created indexes as stated in the upstream bug report, I have not recompiled Evolution, so I don't know if the patch actually works.

Anyway, even if I have created indexes, Evolution is still slow (not as much as before) because (as it seems from upstream discussion) it still handles lots of UIDS using a slow method. (see post #8)

I think that if this issue is not solved upstream properly and in a reasonable time, it could be nice to have the old version of Evolution packaged for Ubuntu 8.10, so people can install the old one if they need.

Switching to a new database format seems to have created a lot of efficiency issues, that will probably need months to solve upstream, so maybe packing the old Evolution for Intrepid is the way to go.

Thanks for your prompt answers and continued help.
