Comment 30 for bug 27014

The attached patch is not an actual fix for the bug, and it has been submitted upstream. It is a viable workaround until a proper fix can be made. I have been using this patch for months, and have rolled it out to all my users and this problem is virtually eliminated. I went from having this error every day to having it happen only twice in months.

The patch simply stops evolution from automatically downloading email on startup. This gives evolution a chance to finish setting up all of its indexes before email is downloaded. This was also the default behavior of evolution 1.4.

Simply drop the patch into debian/patches and rebuild.
