Evolution laggy due to IMAP -profile or due to some odd Sync -issue?
- by Izzy
I'm fighting with Evolution. Basically it's working fine -- but it is very slow to react in certain situations.
Helper questions
Could it be that changing away from Bonobo has to do with slowing-down?
There might be some trouble with the new engine and "asynchronous actions". What to do about it? Are there e.g. any configuration files?
I want to get the previous "working mood" back. How can I speed this thing up?
Different scenarios
when sending a mail, the composer window hangs there inactive for a couple of seconds, everything grayed out. Though there is a green
check mark saying it's sent, I'm not sure a) why it's still blocking
everything and b) whether I could simply close it without
"breaking"/"losing" anything. In earlier versions, the composer window
was closing pretty fast, and one could see the message being stored
into the local "outbox" until it was sent, and one could immediately
continue with the next task. I prefer that behaviour over the current, where I cannot do anything in the application until the window closes.
switching between modules. Coming from mail and switching to the address book takes a couple of seconds. Same for switching to the
calendar. I read about different "possible causes" and tried a few
things:
I only have 3 local address books, so no networking should be involved here. To make sure, I switched to offline mode and then tried
to access the address book. No noticeable difference.
I use 3 Google Calendars. Switching to offline mode made a minor difference, but so minor that it also could be "imagination" since one
might have expected this in this case
according to some reports, disabling the tasks should help. Well, it didn't in my case, as I don't use them regularly (just two local items stored here)
Maybe I should also mention that I'm using the KDE4 desktop (so no Unity or Gnome, though both is installed on the computer). And I did not have this issue before I updated to 12.04.
