Description Quentin Smith 2001-12-23 16:57:05 UTC 
Package: Evolution
Priority: Blocker
Version: 1.0
Synopsis: Evolution freezes and puts CPU at 100% when loading
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Mailer

Description:
Have a full mailbox (thousands of messages) and launch evolution.
Depending on the messages, you may or may not get the problem. I believe
it is related to bad mime messages. The CPU goes up to 100% and stays
there until the evolution-mail process is killed.

Comment 1 Not Zed 2002-01-31 03:46:34 UTC 
Does it lock forever, like more than 10 minutes? (i assume you dont
have 10k messages).

Does it ever leave that function 'complete' above.
(in gdb try:
  frame 2
  fin
)

If not, can you try and idenfity the specific message that is causing
the problem and attach it here?
Comment 2 Jeffrey Stedfast 2002-04-23 23:59:55 UTC 
Presumed fixed based on lack of user response.
