export EVOLUTION_COUNT_TRASH=1 ulimit -n 1024 exec /usr/bin/evolution the file limit helped a lot. Also, instead of logging the user out you can open a shell and run: pkill -f evolution and then start your client up again. I have been asking several questions the last 2 weeks about why evolution freezes as well and have not seen much help. I would assume that they will need more information such as the version of evolution you are running. run this command in a terminal... rpm -qa|grep evolution But, who knows maybe the lack of information will get a response Good Luck from a guy who is totally invested in non-Windows platforms making to the desktop -- Todd Ness Infrastructure Specialist - Workplace Services Non-Windows ADS _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
