Re: [Evolution] The Mail Bomb

This could be the server resetting its idea of the UID's of each
message.  In which case, there's little we can do about it.  In 1.4.1
you'll be able to disable extensions - which will probably address it
since we calculate what we've already downloaded differently - but will
probably also run so slow as to not be practical for you.

I dont know if there's even any easy way to check this occurance either
:-/  You could try login to the pop server manually and do a UIDL
command and see if the strings change the next time it happens, or run
evolution with CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG set in the environment and log
everything to a file using a redirect until it does.

Of course, it could just be a bug too, this is just another possibility,
logging would probably be needed to determine which it is.
