Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
Ubuntu 6.10, evolution 2.8.1-0ubuntu4.1.
If "leave mail on server" is enabled for an account, memory usage by
evolution (both virtual and RSS) increases by about 150% of the mailbox
size kept, each time email is fetched. As I check mail every minute my
evolution quickly ballooned up and got hit by OOM killer after a couple
hours of idle use.
When "leave mail on server" was checked off and the remote messages
deleted, the memory size went to a more or less steady and manageable
64 megabyte.
The remote account is POP3, with SSL Encryption. Remote side is running
uw imap-2002d on RHEL 4.
NB: I'm running this under VMWare Workstation 6, SMP on a Core 2 6600
processor (though I don't know how virtualisation would cause this).
Unfortunately my enabling "keep mail on server" with a large mailbox and
my upgrading to WS6 happened very closely to each other. I can try to
reproduce this on another machine runing VMWare Workstation 5 in a few
days.
** Affects: evolution (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
