I'm having persistent problems with Evolution fetching and reading Pop mail from a local ISP. Every time I connect to a different folder, set a filter, or click on send/receive, there's a 24-26 second pause before the result is displayed. I see the same pauses with existing, already downloaded mail. Thee pauses affect the entire system. When I run "journalctl -fa" in a Terminal window I see the following:

When I try to view man kernel_lockdown.7, I get "No manual entry for kernel_lockdown.7"
This is a fully-updated F31 system. Evolution v3.334.2-1.fc31.
Has anyone else encountered pauses like this with Evolution?

You're more likely to get useful answers by asking on the Evolution mailing list at https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
Remember to state your version of Evolution (as you have here) and note that the list is not specifically for Fedora.

This bug appears to be directly related, there are comments with the fixes, but it seems to depend which desktop environment you went with.

Anthony,

It isn't clear to me that your issue is impacted by this. I too am seeing "spamming" of the journal but haven't encountered any degradation in applications and have been ignoring it. (I don't use evolution)
However, since this thread came up I decided to see what would happen if I removed xdg-desktop-portal.
Since it only resulted in
Removed flatpak-1.4.3-3.fc31.x86_64 @@System Removed flatpak-session-helper-1.4.3-3.fc31.x86_64 @@System Removed plasma-discover-flatpak-5.17.5-1.fc31.x86_64 @@System Removed xdg-desktop-portal-1.4.2-3.fc31.x86_64 @@System Removed xdg-desktop-portal-gtk-1.4.0-1.fc31.x86_64 @@System Removed xdg-desktop-portal-kde-5.17.5-1.fc31.x86_64 @@System
and since I don't make use of flatpak, I did remove it.
The journal is no longer being spammed.
You may want to consider doing a remove of xdg-desktop-portal to see what else will be removed and if you don't need it, remove and see if your problem with evolution is resolved.

Patrick,
Thanks for the suggestion. I've joined that list and posted the question. Now I'll just have to sit back and wait for any responses.
