I went ahead and got rid of the mbox.ibex file and the problem is fixed. What is this file for? Everything works after deleting it. It did get recreated, but much smaller. It's mostly filled with zeros. Does this file continually grow and need periodic pruning? -- John S.

Re: [Evolution] retrieve mail times
Yea, just delete mbox.ibex mbox.ibex is a word index on your mail, ie - basically a very large hash table of which words each message contains. As an optimization, words can get added to the ibex, but for the most part never get removed (removing words is a very expensive operation). Other problems with ibex files is that they currently don't scale really well. Michael Zucchi (aka notzed) has some ideas on making it scale a lot better as well as being able to remove words from the on-disk hash table in a much less expensive manner. Hopefully we'll have time to implement it for 1.2 Jeff On Tue, 2002-01-29 at 23:28, John Weber wrote: On Tue, 2002-01-29 at 20:43, Ian Goldberg wrote: Hi, RH7.1, evolution versions since the middle of last year.

[Evolution] retrieve mail times
Hi, RH7.1, evolution versions since the middle of last year. I use fetchmail to get my mail from various servers and spool it on my local machine. I use pop to get it into evolution from my local machine. What I've noticed is that mail which has an applicable filter to put it in another folder (besides inbox) is processed almost immediately, while mail that is destined for inbox (no filter applies) takes roughly 30 seconds. Anybody know why or how to fix this? Thanks -- John S. Weber [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
