I think this is https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=731562 , I will try to backport that change.

backported eds patch

This is the backported upstream patch for evolution-data-server. It's not 1:1 with its upstream version, some parts were not applicable, but the main part with locking access to selected folder variables is included.

Comment 4 Milan Crha 2015-03-04 12:22:36 UTC
As indicated by [1], that still can happen and more core IMAPx code changes are required to truly fix this, for which the [2] is filled.

Comment 6 Milan Crha 2015-05-21 16:36:19 UTC
The change from comment #3, respectively comment #2, is included in the rebased evolution-data-server 3.12.11. It's still not enough, as mentioned in comment #4.

Comment 7 Milan Crha 2015-05-26 13:07:20 UTC
I'll commit the temporary workaround from the upstream bug report [1], which is only a workaround, thus this error can still happen, as wrote in that bug, but less often. I cannot do more about this right now, even with the rewrite of the job queue, which I expect to be too aggressive, thus not much suitable for the RHEL as of now.
