I don't think so. Evolution is doing something very bad (perhaps recursing into the directories madly) -- mutt doesn't lock up or die when accessing that server, so Evo shouldn't either.
It's not really a configuration bug with imapd -- it's more that you can work around this by using an imapd configuration option. ** Changed in: evolution (Ubuntu) Status: Needs Info => Confirmed -- Evolution eats up all system memory when recursing into imap directory tree. https://launchpad.net/bugs/45633 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
