Yes, I did try Evolution and E-D-S 3.12.0 and 3.12.1.

I suppose most “mail power users”, i. e. users with over 10 accounts
(POP and IMAP) and several hundred thousands of messages and those users
probably using Debian Sid/unstable, moved away from Evolution a long
time ago and I am the only masochist still using it. You are using Mutt
too, if I am not mistaken. :P

Point is, it is not surprising, that there are only a few reports as I
believe most Evolution users do not know how to submit a bug report and
just accept crashes and other flaws.

I’ll try to help upstream to get these issues fixed, but I strongly
believe the migration should wait until at least Evolution Data Server
3.12.2 is released. As you can see in the branch
evolution-data-server-3-12 there are several critical fixes in there
already.


Thanks,

Paul
