Because one person reporting problems is not usually credible - it's indicative of a misconfiguration or an issue elsewhere. Yes, it sometimes is a problem, and given an infinite amount of resources all such things would be investigated - but with limited (very limited) resources, the developers have to concentrate on the things that have the most impact for the most people. > > The same occurs in evolution.

My experience is that Evolution has become more stable and more usable over the last few releases. And yes, it has become faster and more responsive. To be honest most of the grouching about the stability and speed of Evo seems to be coming from Ubuntu users - that may be because there are just more users of Ubuntu than other distros; or it could be something that the Ubuntu packagers have done to Evo; or it could be some interaction of Evo with other libraries that Ubuntu have modified. That's not to say that there aren't reported problems with other distros, but they don't seem to make Evo unusable like it reportedly does on Ubuntu. > > If I'm taking my time explaining what's the problem I suppose that > someone should take some time in investigating what can be wrong.

That's the only way that it's going to get into the developers list of things to look at - the more people that file bugs, especially if they turn out to be the same problem, the more likely that it will be looked at. > > > Note: My current version is: 3.6.4.

If it crashes while doing nothing, then you really need to get a backtrace on it with all the symbol packages installed so that someone can see exactly where and why it is crashing. Useful information on doing this is at http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/bugs.shtml > > I suppose it's a small bug. But this is not the problem. Problem is > performance. > File bugs about it. That's the only way the developers can get a view on systemic problems and can spot patterns. It's also very helpful if when you do submit a bug following a posting to this list, that you tell us the bug ID - at least then if some one searches the list archives (because we ALL do that before posting, don't we) they can at least see if the problem has been fixed, or can add a comment to the bug. Finally, the developers make advances and improvements and bug fixes in the current version and only bug fixes in the previous version - so it is always worthwhile running the most up to date version before criticizing things too much.
