I don't think that's a duplicate, comment #1 on that other bug should be a different issue than the bug description and should have been a new bug, not a comment on an another issue, reopening that one
I have the same problem. Using Ubuntu 6.10 on x86, and a rather big evolution mailbox (>1GB) When starting evolution, it crashes after a few seconds. The console shows about 50 lines of the type (evolution-2.8:5492): camel-WARNING **: Could not find key entry for word 'vfs': Success (evolution-2.8:5492): camel-WARNING **: Could not find key entry for word 'mounts': Success (evolution-2.8:5492): camel-WARNING **: Could not find key entry for word 'mount': Success (evolution-2.8:5492): camel-WARNING **: Could not find key entry for word 'kernel': Success (evolution-2.8:5492): camel-WARNING **: Could not find key entry for word 'proxy': Success (evolution-2.8:5492): camel-WARNING **: Could not find key entry for word 'pure': Success and about 15 lines of the type (evolution-2.8:5492): camel-local-provider-WARNING **: Could not open/create index file: Bad file descriptor: indexing not performed (evolution-2.8:5492): camel-local-provider-WARNING **: Could not open/create index file: Bad file descriptor: indexing not performed (evolution-2.8:5492): camel-local-provider-WARNING **: Could not open/create index file: Bad file descriptor: indexing not performed I believe this might be related to an earlier problem I had; the file descriptors of the kernel would get consumed and no new files could be opened. Evolution would fail to create new index files and freeze. Apparently the file handles where somehow consumed by beagle which I have now uninstalled. I get the problem even when I run "evolution --offline". To restart evolution, I do "evolution --force-shutdown". To make matters worse, evolution sometimes crashes early enough not to show any of the error messages above.
Ok, I set CAMEL_DEBUG=all and run evolution on the command line. I now get to see which where I get the messages (evolution-2.8:5492): camel-local-provider-WARNING **: Could not open/create index file: Bad file descriptor: indexing not performed and I enter and delete the *index* files for the specific folders. After I completed that, evolution appeared to work ok once. However, subsequent runs would crash, and I end up with the same error for folders that I have already erased the *index* files. As if the threads were creating the index files but die prematurely before completing their work.
I still have the problem of evolution crashing during the start. This is Evolution 2.8.1 on Edgy. Now I get the warning (evolution-2.8:14242): camel-local-provider-WARNING **: Could not open/create index file: Bad file descriptor: indexing not performed though I am not sure if it is actually related to the crashes. My screen resolution is 1024x786 and it appears that evolution cannot fit all the elements in the window when it is maximised. Especially, when I use the Greek locale, the text messages are wider than the English ones, requiring even more horizontal space for the vertical layout of Evolution. I can get evolution to crash rather consistently when I use the Greek locale and I get the window be maximised while it loads. Once Evo has loaded, I do not get crashes. When I start Evo with --offline, it appears to help sometimes.
