[Bug 60577] too many files/pipes open

[Heitzso]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

I setup evolution with bogo filter as noted on web to try to slow down
spam.  I get over 300 spam emails a day and that's no good.  When I try
to ctrl-y filter a couple hundred emails in my junk folder to train
bogofilter, evolution locks up.  Then I cannot close out evolution
except by kill -9.  There are reports on the evolution email list of
possible fd leaks.  Cannot ctrl-e my trash folder then either.

BTW, I had been using thunderbird but recent tbird breaks up and down
arrow during edit of email.  Works diff in new thunderbird than any
other editer.  I finally tossed tbird and tried to jump to evolution.
I've got a couple dozen folders to import so that was not trivial.  But
evolutions failure to filter the spam breaks evolution.  In my mind you
cannot setup evolution as the default email client without good spam
filter such as comes w/ tbird.

** Affects: evolution (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Untriaged
