Hello there,
Since the memory management of FC3 apps is a hot topic, can I ask
advice on reduction of the amount taken by evolution?
My 'box' has a P3 1.8GHz with 256Mb, not a vast amount but it ran
FC1/FC2 just fine.
But today 'top' 'M' looks like:

etc.
There are 5 'spamd' processes started by evolution, and each has a
resident 15m, plus the 40m of the main system. If I start anything else
I get horrendous paging.
Evolution is a 'killer-ap' for me (Exchange) but does anyone know why
it needs 5 spamd process, or how I can educe its memory impact?
Note that I am running the test 2.1.3.1 release, for forms/ssl exchange
compatibility.
Thanks!
Bill
