These are my folders.db files under ~ $ find . -name folders.db | xargs du -h 3,7M ./.cache/evolution/mail/847a0198a63c0b6b4b037e4b714cb91938896155/folders.db 11M ./.cache/evolution/mail/c3ff02a3a11ecce072da7e16bbd5b885dfb8aebd/folde rs.db 72K ./.local/share/evolution/mail/local/folders.db 4,0K ./.local/share/evolution/mail/vfolder/folders.db So nothing huge here. Evolution is still writing a lot of data, maybe 10 minutes after startup it has already written about 110 MB. $ cat /proc/`pidof evolution`/io rchar: 122878766 wchar: 195699649 syscr: 233711 syscw: 203037 read_bytes: 4096 write_bytes: 112295936 cancelled_write_bytes: 12288 Quite mysterious this whole business. I shall try disabling one of my accounts and see if that makes any difference. //Pelle _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
