Hi,
I just upgraded from FC4 to FC5 (and upgraded) and get a strange problem:
When I start evolution, it begins to eat 85-90% of CPU continuously. Even if there are no incoming mail to filter or other work to do. The CPU temperature on my laptop is 76-78 C if evolution is running and power consumption is very high.
I did not observe such phenomena in earlier versions.
What should be the problem?
Thank you in advance,
András

---- turn off mail filtering in Preferences.
I have found that to be an issue included failing to kill off some spamd processes even if you quit evolution.

Once again I am clueless or maybe evolution is to feature full. I can't find where to tun of mail filtering in preferences. Where is that done?

Preferences -> Mail Preferences -> Junk remove check for junk mail

Whoa!! Thanks a billion for that tip. Unchecked junk mail filtering here & retrieving new mail is about 100 times faster :-)) Now, I wonder what happens to future junk mail?

Completely OT but, if you want FAST and light, try sylpheed-claws from extras. The more that Evo tries to be LookOut, the less I like it.

---- This isn't about emulation of Outlook. This is about spamassassin/bayes user db's and that can happen with any mail program that uses spamassassin/bayes to locate/filter junk mail.

---- after things have settled down, you can probably turn it back on. It's likely that something has happened to you user bayes db.
That's why I find it helpful to kill off any spamd processes that seem to linger after I close evolution. You can try moving your user spamassassin settings... 'mv $HOME/.spamassassin $HOME/.spamassassin.bak and then launching evolution again and then turn on junk mail filtering.
In the end, I just shut it off since I do have spamassassin running on my mail server and though having my own user bayes db seemed to pick up some more via the training within Evolution, eventually it became a nightmare.

Hi,
Thank you for tips but no one solves my problem. I switched off spam filters, removed $HOME/.spamassasin but still have the following first lines in 'top':
6244 horvatha 15 0 238m 39m 19m S 82.4 9.1 2:28.36 evolution 2121 root 15 0 13812 2972 2268 S 12.6 0.7 2:20.31 gdm-binary
What is this gdm-binary? If I exit from Evolution it disappears also. Is it important?
Thank you in advance,
András

I saw this advice preciously about stopping junk scan as a way to reduce the cpu use of evolution. I have scanning on and do not have the cpu use problem. The real problem must be somewhere else.

I did a lot of change in Evolution preferences but the problem is still alive. The only significant observation is that when I start Evolution, gdm-binary (which runs forever) begins to eat 10-15% CPU (while Evolution get 80-90%). After I exit Evolution, gdm-binary goes back to near 0% CPU.
What is the connection between Evolution and gdm-binary? It is very strange! I have no idea.

Well gdm-binary is running on my machine, but it does not appear to take too much cpu time in top (can't even see it) nor in ps output.
Has no man page so I don't know what it does. Maybe someone else does.

[]# locate gdm-binary /usr/sbin/gdm-binary []# rpm -qif /usr/sbin/gdm-binary Name : gdm ...
So it's part of GDM, the Gnome Display Manager, a replacement for XDM. Gdm is just a script that starts gdm-binary. ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' mailto:tonynelson@georgeanelson.com ' http://www.georgeanelson.com/

OK, future junk mail is now received in the "Inbox" (finally received some).
after things have settled down, you can probably turn it back on. It's likely that something has happened to you user bayes db.
Turning back on produces no change.
That's why I find it helpful to kill off any spamd processes that seem to linger after I close evolution. You can try moving your user spamassassin settings... 'mv $HOME/.spamassassin $HOME/.spamassassin.bak and then launching evolution again and then turn on junk mail filtering.
Tried this, turned junk filtering on again & a new "$HOME/.spamassassin" was created. Retrieving new mail is even slower than before :-(
In the end, I just shut it off since I do have spamassassin running on my mail server and though having my own user bayes db seemed to pick up some more via the training within Evolution, eventually it became a nightmare.
I've shut it off again & new mail retrieval is once again speedy :-) I may have to leave it off unless any one has any suggestions?

I had the same problem as you before... the problem comes from DBUS
If you start Evo. in command line you will have the following error:
libnm_glib_dbus_init: error, org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.FileNotFound raised: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
Simple start the messagebus service...
service messagebus start
restart Evo., and everything should be fine...
Cheers,
ROm
