[Evolution-users] Stuck opening folder

[Van Snyder]

I just killed Evolution because it was stuck opening three folders
under ~/mail/save/… — my MH format local archive. "top" reported it was
using 300% of my CPU time. I assume that means three whole cores on my
old eight-core Intel i7.

1. How does Evolution decide which random folder to open in my MH
archive whenever I start it?

2. Why does it choose a different one each time?

3. How can I stop if from doing that?

4. I click the little circle with two red dots in the bottom pane and
it adds (cancelling) after the folder name, but it never finishes
cancelling. How do I cancel it, short of killing Evolution, restarting
it, and watching it get stuck opening another random folder?

I'm using Evolution 3.46.4-2 on Debian 12, but I had the same problem
using whatever version was shipped with Debian 13 (3.56.1-1, IIRC). I
can't check that now because I sent the MB back to MSI and I don't have
Debian 13 on my backup machine. I had cloned my home directory onto
that machine's NVME drive, but my backup doesn't have an NVME slot. I
have Debian 13 on a laptop where I use Evolution 3.56.1-1, but it
doesn't have that problem, so I assume the problem is caused by a file
in ~/.somewhere/*
