My GKrellM widget says 26-30% of eight cores are being used.

I copied the files from a folder it couldn't open to a new folder,
which it was able to open, and then deleted the folder it couldn't
open. The next time I launched Evolution, it decided to open a
different folder that I haven't opened for several months. And it's now
stuck (for about 16 hours) trying to open it. The folder contains 14
files occupying 1.5 MB.

"On This Computer" was a mistake. It's actually a "server" I call
"Storage" that's MH format. The "email address" field in its first
account page is "~/mail/@here".
