I'm wondering how can this bug is marked as low importance. It's the biggest issue for most people at my work, where mailboxes get pretty big.

I think, this comes from the 64-Bit versions. Each new PC today is a 64-Bit ready device. If you install a 64-Bit version of Linux/Evolution, the problem will not occur.

But, i think your right, about the importance and what i not understand, it's so simple to fix this bug, why is it not fixed since years?

BR,
Jens
