Public bug reported:
After a while, evolution stops using spamassassin for junk mail
detection.
Here is what happens:
1- Evolution creates spamd socket and pid file in ~/.cache/evolution/tmp with
2- When creating a new temporary directory to open an email attachment,
evolution notices that the socket and pid file are more than 2 hours old, and
deletes them, breaking spamassassin integration
See TEMP_EXPIRE in e-util/e-mktemp.c.
The problem is that it's using st.st_atime, but that's no longer getting
updated on Ubuntu and/or with ext4.
This is my directory before opening an attachment:
