Fortunately I'm on one high traffic mailing list, so I can check that folder and know I need to restart if I haven't received anything in about four hours.
I'd say Evolution is not quite ready for primetime, yet, though I have high hopes it will be improving. They d

They have really made some great strides, though. I can remember trying it way back when it was first released, and it (predictably) sucked. I'm more of a mutt user, but Evolution has made a believer out of me.

If things get any worse, I'll have to ask you to stop helping me.

I haven't heard of anyone experiencing your issue of having to restart to get mail.
That's after keeping it up for days.
