First: A couple of times I experienced as working in Evolution, that it behaves as hanging up (swap use grows a lot), top reports more than 90% of "MEM" use, dont know if that includes swap. That finishes in about 30 seconds. Read below my assumption, please. Oh, yea, of course, with external ISPs, that would be a DoS. But I have no external accounts but google, from which my evolution pick messages every hour (always). These are my accounts: /var/spool/mail/rodolfoap, rodolfo.alcazar@xxxxxxxxxxxx, sistemas@xxxxxxxxxxxx, being padep.org.bo my mailserver, in my local network; 4. An another enterprise page's webmaster (webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) , staying forodac.org.bo also in my local network. (and 5, google, but that doesn't count, always was set for an hour). As you see, all are local mailservers. My perception is that spamassassin was loading more and more the CPU, caused by evolution. When I was picking up my mail every minute, maybe spamassasin's load was growing and growing. Then arrives the next minute and the consequential picking up, finishing loading more and more the processor. Unique solution by that time, pkill evolution. Anyway, my problem is solved, picking up mail every 15/30 minutes, depending of the importance of the account. Iwould be happy knowing the root of the problem.
