[Evolution] Evolution Cache Limit

2007-04-30 Thread Murray Trainer
Hi All,

We have a user using Evolution with a pop3 account.  He was wondering
where all his disk space was being used.  Turned out half of the space
being used was under the following folder:

~/.evolution/mail/pop/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/cache

Is there a limit to the amount of disk space that Evolution can use for
caching or does it do any automatic cleaning up of cache files?  A cache
limit setting similar to web browsers would be useful for situations
such as ours where users have fixed disk quotas. 

Thanks

Murray

This email prompted me to look at my similar cache files, which in turn
raised a number of questions. There seems to be an arbitrary set of
items stored. One email acct, which is used all the time, has nothing
stored. Others have odds and ends stored. Also there are some cache
folders for [EMAIL PROTECTED]@mail.domain (where 'mail.domain' is
repeated without change.

What does this cache do and what determines what's kept there?

What could be causing these strange folders with the repeated
@mail.domain?

Thanks
Nailz
