I'm using OpenSuse 11.0 and Evolution 2.22.1.1

The problem is, even though I try to create sub directories, there
seems to be a limit on the file size that evolution can handle. Last
week Evolution wouldn't crashed and wouldn't re-start. I went into
the .mail / inbox file and moved the 2gig+ inbox file to another
directory. Evolution then started, recreated the inbox file and
functions as normal.

After you have split the file, switch to maildir format instead of mbox
(if Evolution has the option). This will help with the large file
issue. Please do get into the habit of organizing your messages into
separate folders but that is up to you :)
