[Bug 392589] Re: Default setting for remembering password should be remember until logout
I second the idea that the default should be "remember until logout". Also, I would like to be able to disable completely the "save forever" option, to avoid (non expert) user mistakes. -- Default setting for remembering password should be remember until logout https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392589 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 292739] Re: Evolution 2.24.1 really slow with big IMAP folders
Vasil, I have tried testing every scheduler available. I have copied a 700 MB file between tests to flush the cache. The results are as follows: - Noop is the slowest scheduler, by maybe 5-10%, no more. - All of the other schedulers seem to have the same performance. - If I don't flush the cache, Evolution is *REALLY* fast (at least 5 times faster, maybe 10) with every scheduler. - Just for information, copying the 700 MB file from and to the same disk takes approx 36 seconds with every scheduler but "noop", and 40 with "noop". So the bottom line, at least on my system (Dell Precision M65 laptop, 1 GB RAM, 7200rpm sata hdd, 32 bit Core Duo T2500, seems to be that basically all schedulers show equal performance. I have not tried to see how responsive is the system while running the tests, so my test does not focus on multitasking or desktop responsiveness, only on the timing of a single operation that basically can use all of the CPU time and disk I/O bandwiidth (copying a single file or opening Evolution). -- Evolution 2.24.1 really slow with big IMAP folders https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292739 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 292739] Re: Evolution 2.24.1 really slow with big IMAP folders
Dear Vasil, There are discussions going on elsewhere about the poor performance of the block device scheduler in new kernels, so maybe you are right. Evolution does a lot of small i/o requests, and the whole problem gets really worse when you have more than one account, because the number of parallel requests grows with the number of accounts you have. Maybe this performance problem is caused by a sum of causes: poor coding, poor sqlite performance, poor kernel i/o scheduler performance. We should test by recompiling the kernel (on the same hardware) and changing the i/o scheduler it uses. -- Evolution 2.24.1 really slow with big IMAP folders https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292739 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 292739] Re: Evolution 2.24.1 really slow with big IMAP folders
Mario, I'm testing your patched Evolution now. It still has a bug regarding update of unread messages count in folders pane, which makes it hard to tell if I have got new mail or not. (see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=559391) It seems to be still slow compared to the version that used the old database backend, but it now seems at least acceptable. I'll test it further, while at the office (with a GB connection to the imap server) and out (with a 512K adsl uplink). -- Evolution 2.24.1 really slow with big IMAP folders https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292739 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug reported: Binary package hint: evolution If I click on the triangle to the left of the "On this computer" account in the account tree, it shrinks to hide all of its contents, as it sould do. But when I close and restart Evolution, this account is again opened and I can see all the folders in it. The other accounts that I have set up (that are IMAP accounts) properly mantain the extended/shrinked status when I close and reopen Evolution.

[Bug 292739] Re: Evolution 2.24.1 really slow with big IMAP folders
I have just installed the new evolution-data-server from proposed, it is considerably faster than before, but still not as fast as the old evolution that did not use sqlite. It seems to me that when it runs a lot of concurrent activities (like scanning different folders for different accounts for new messages) it slows down a lot. If I enable 4 accounts, a full "send/receive" runs for one minute (with gigabit connection to the imap server). If I enable only one account, a full "send/receive" runs for 4 seconds with quite no disk activity. It is obvious that there is something wrong when Evolution runs imap folder update tasks concurrently. It also uses a lot of memory, and grows indefinitely: after 10 minutes it's using more than 400 MB of memory. -- Evolution 2.24.1 really slow with big IMAP folders https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292739 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 292739] Re: Evolution 2.24.1 really slow with big IMAP folders
I use server-side filtering, so I have completely disabled filtering in Evolution. But I have enabled checking for new mail in every folder, since I get mail delivered directly to the folders by the server. If you look at the upstream bug tracking page, at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=558883, you'll see that there are new patches addressing issues like the one you seem to have. Basically it seems that Evolution is rescanning every single email in every single folder when checking for new mail, and maybe it does the same when filtering.

[Bug 292739] Re: Evolution 2.24.1 really slow with big IMAP folders
I have tried the updated version, and it is still terrilbly slow when you have more than one IMAP account. If I keep only one account enabled and disable all the others, it becomes notably faster. I suppose that there is some sort of concurrency issue that forces continuous flushes to disk to the sqlite3 database files.

[Bug 292739] Re: Evolution 2.24.1 really slow with big IMAP folders
I have manually created indexes as stated in the upstream bug report, I have not recompiled Evolution, so I don't know if the patch actually works. Anyway, even if I have created indexes, Evolution is still slow (not as much as before) because (as it seems from upstream discussion) it still handles lots of UIDS using a slow method. (see post #8) I think that if this issue is not solved upstream properly and in a reasonable time, it could be nice to have the old version of Evolution packaged for Ubuntu 8.10, so people can install the old one if they need. Switching to a new database format seems to have created a lot of efficiency issues, that will probably need months to solve upstream, so maybe packing the old Evolution for Intrepid is the way to go.

[Bug 292739] [NEW] Evolution 2.24.1 really slow with big IMAP folders
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: evolution I have just upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 (32 bit). The older version of Evolution worked perfectly and was really fast with my IMAP accounts (Dovecot imapd, gigabit ethernet), even if I have 4 accounts, 80 folders and 150.000 emails. After the upgrade to ubuntu 8.10 (Evolution 2.424.1) it has become painfully slow when checking IMAP folders for new mail. It uses up to 1 GB of memory, it continuosuly accesses the disk, and it seems to hang for a lot of time (while accessing disk) on "Fetching summary information for new messages in "some folder" (100%)". The network activity is minimal and it seems "normal" to me, while disk, ram and cpu usage are very high. The only difference in my setup is that I have upgraded from ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10. Other useful information: The server runs Debian Etch, Dovecot is version 1.0.rc15, since I use server side filtering, Evolution is set up to check for new mail in every folder. I have no filtering enabled in Evolution. I suppose that the issue is with the adoption of a different database format for storing folder informations.
