Description michal 2001-12-05 01:10:34 UTC 
Package: Evolution
Priority: Major
Version: 1.0
Synopsis: Crash while scanning home directory (instead of mail directory)
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Mailer

Description:
My mail lives on an imap server, in a directory called Mail in my
account ... 
but evolution didn't ask where to look, and it wasn't obvious how to
tell it, 
so it tried to scan my entire Unix home directory (which lives in the
same 
directory system as my imap mail) and then crashed in various ugly ways.

Comment 1 Jeffrey Stedfast 2001-12-11 19:49:14 UTC 
the crash is not in the mailer at all, it's in the summary component.

anyways, if you don't want IMAP to scan your entire home directory,
you can set the namespace path and/or set evolution to only list
subscribed folders - either will work on their own or you can combine
the 2.
Comment 2 Luis Villa 2001-12-13 01:12:16 UTC 
17249 appears to be this but with a fresher trace.
