[Evolution] Evolution activity stalls - screen goes dark

[reid <rsv869 roadrunner com>]

Hello group -

When running Evolution 3.6.0 on Ubuntu 12.10 I execute some basic activity,
such as deleting several hundred messages, or moving large number messages
from one folder to another, and in the process the HD become incredibly busy
(HD light stays on constantly) and the screen goes dim (dark back & white). 
I've run the system monitor and CPE and memory are barely active at that
time but the system is locked up tight until this activity finishes.  Is
this normal?  Could it be caused by the fact that the message folders were
imported into Evolution as Mbox format, and that the deletion and/or
movement of messages from Mbox folders creates this situation of too disk
intensive disk activity?  Is there anything I can do to correct this?

Thanks

Reid
