Evolution crashes when the Inbox size exceeds 2GB. As a result, when you open Evolution the Inbox will be empty, and an Error message will be at the bottom that says
Error while opening folder mbox:/home/myname/.evolution/mail/local #inbox

The solution is to archive your mails frequently. Clear your trash frequently.

 And in this particualr occasion, when your Evolution is crashing use the help of archivemail

In Fedora, perform the following.

 As root

yum install archivemail

Since I came across this issue several times I thought of blogging about it to save my time and to help any one who might need this advice.

MySQL by default has a row size limit of 64K as at MySQL 5.0. Therefore if you save a file larger than that anything after the max size will not be saved. So do not be surprised if you find the data that is saved to be corrupted.

Obvious solution to this would be to increase the MySQL max_allowed_packet variable to a very high size.

But a more elegant solution would be to break up the large file in to separate rows.Another advantage of this approach is you can read one chunk at a time and stream vs reading the
entire file in to memory.

A question that any new immigrant would ask sooner or later is, "Is Canada still under United Kingdom Rule?, or is Canada controlled by any other country?". The answer is NO.

Up to 1931, UK had significant political control over Canada. Full legislative autonomy was granted to Canada by the Statute of Westminster, 1931, passed by the United Kingdom and ratified by the Canadian parliament. In 1982, the Canada Act terminated the power of the British parliament's ability to legislate for Canada, and the authority to amend the constitution was transferred to Canadian legislative authorities.  Therefore, Canada does not pay taxes to UK, and neither does UK has any legislative power over Canada.
