990

990 pipes seems a bit excessive so I'm guessing it has to be a leak

Since I mostly just use the mail component, it is probably mailer related.

- I do have the SpamAssassin plugin enabled, so that's a possible source of pipes
- the pipe leak could also be thread related(?)
- maybe e-password related?

Evolution has also been running for a few days (since at least friday last week), only reason I noticed the problem is because downloading new mail this morning broke with:

"Error while Fetching Mail.

Could not create lock file for /home/fejj/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox.sbd/Mono.sbd/Commits: Too many open files"

My instincts tell me it's a leak related to checking mail, but I'm not certain on that.
