[Bug 65614] Evolution using too much memory & won't close

[Jorge Valencia]

Public bug reported:

I upgraded from dapper to edgy two days ago. Everything seems fine,
except for Evolution. Every time I open it,  the following  sequence of
events occurs:

1. Evolution starts, it uses 25 Mb from the memory.
2. Evolution checks for mail, then starts spamd & spamd-child.
3. As the mail is received, spamd  & spamd-child rise --every one-- to 24 Mb and go back to 2/4 Mb.
4. Immediately, Evolution starts growing its memory demand. It stops on the 430 Mb boundary, which makes the computer almost useless.
5. I try to close Evolution:  two out of three times, it freezes. The other time, it crashes and starts bug buddy.

I tried several tricks: un-checking the plug-ins, disabling the spam
check, but it is always the same.

I filled a report on bugzilla:
