on a crashing evolution

David Woodhouse: 30 May 2006:
I’ve taken to running Evolution in a loop: while true; do evolution; done
At least I don’t have to keep restarting it every time it crashes now — an event which occurs ten or twenty times daily.
Oh my gosh. So it wasn’t just me then. This weekend I let Evolution run its course, and I restarted it twice when I came to check up on it. I was wondering if all the mail was causing it to crash, but it wasn’t. No OOM messages that I saw in a log, just an empty workspace. I switched back to Thunderbird (which means no convenient way of reading email via ssh exec-ing imapd), thinking maybe it was just me.

Updated Fedora Core 5, on an x86 even. Just about 3 IMAP mailboxes, and several (~4-5) POP boxes. IMAP mail tends to be large…

    Hmm.. I can’t say that it crashes often. I usually only have a problem when it comes to evo-exchange. (which is a bit in-sane, but it works 8/10 times)

    IMAP is via a imaps connection to an inter-country location.
    Lots of Mboxes with the evolution email folder amounting to like ~ 7.6G of stuffs. (which makes opening it back evolution a bit of a drag)

    But hey.. it works great!!

    Maybe is a 2.6 thing? I’m still on 2.4
