Every time I connect to a different folder, set a filter, or click on send/receive, there's a 24-26 second pause before the result is displayed.

I too am seeing "spamming" of the journal but haven't encountered any degradation in applications and have been ignoring it. (I don't use evolution) However, since this thread came up I decided to see what would happen if I removed xdg-desktop-portal. Since it only resulted in Removed flatpak-1.4.3-3.fc31.x86_64 @@System Removed flatpak-session-helper-1.4.3-3.fc31.x86_64 @@System Removed plasma-discover-flatpak-5.17.5-1.fc31.x86_64 @@System Removed xdg-desktop-portal-1.4.2-3.fc31.x86_64 @@System Removed xdg-desktop-portal-gtk-1.4.0-1.fc31.x86_64 @@System Removed xdg-desktop-portal-kde-5.17.5-1.fc31.x86_64 @@System and since I don't make use of flatpak, I did remove it. The journal is no longer being spammed. You may want to consider doing a remove of xdg-desktop-portal to see what else will be removed and if you don't need it, remove and see if your problem with evolution is resolved. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
