After a short time running the Evolution e-mail client, I see in the status bar these little indicators that look like a tiny icon followed by "(...)." The "tiny icon" on my system is a little foot image which cycles as if to indicate that it's busy doing something. I assume that these are telling me that the Evolution client is waiting on a background process to complete? Is my understanding correct? There are five "evolution" processes running: 1. /usr/bin/evolution 2. /usr/libexec/evolution-data-server-1.12 3. /usr/libexec/evolution/2.12/evolution-exchange-storage 4. /usr/libexec/evolution/2.12/evolution-alarm-notify 5. /usr/bin/perl (running the /usr/bin/spamd script) Version of evolution I'm running: evolution 2.12.1 System: Fedora 8 kernel 2.6.23.1-49.fc8 -- Mark C, Allman, PMP -- Allman Professional Consulting, Inc. -- www.allmanpc.com, 617-947-4263 BusinessMsg -- the secure, managed, J2EE/AJAX Enterprise IM/IC solution
