+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #212211 +++

Description of problem:

evolution appears to lock up when using connector, but if left sitting for a
lengthy time (31 minutes in my latest attempt) it finally indexes the mail box
on the exchange server.

Following the initial load it then takes between 30 seconds and 3 minutes to
just click on a subject and have the summary window populated.  My workstation
is a 2.8Ghz P4 1G of memory running a bare metal fresh install of FC6.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

$ rpm -qa evolution\*
evolution-2.8.0-7.fc6
evolution-webcal-2.7.1-6
evolution-connector-2.8.0-3.fc6
evolution-data-server-devel-1.8.0-11.fc6
evolution-data-server-1.8.0-11.fc6

I have the same problem. There is a lot of IP-traffic while the connector is
running (observed with tcpdump). Connector appears to be downloading a lot of
stuff from public folders

This issue appears to be solved with evolution/connector  2.8.1-3. I have now
setup all accounts again, and evolution works fine with exchange again

I also am having trouble with evolution and evolution-connector.  My setup is an
x86_64 box (64 bit version FC6), and I am connecting to an Exchange server. 
What is weird is that if I try to change preferences, I get the lockup.  I
haven't tried to let it set for 30 minutes, but I know that after 2-3 minutes,
it does not appear to want to come back.  I am using the latest updates (as of
Nov 8, 2006).  I also am using the 32 bit version on another machine (also FC6),
and it appears to be a little bit better behaved, but it too on occassion just
locks up if I try to go into the preferences.

What else is weird is that I am trying to remove the original configuration for
my evolution setup, and I am assuming that the /home/<user>/.evolution directory
is the place where this information is kept, and I would think that if I deleted
this directory, I should get a clean evolution back.... No such luck.  Any
pointer to where I should go to clean up the evolution information so that I can
see if a clean evolution setup will work?

Thanks,

Norman Weathers

Norman, to purge your account of all Evolution configuration, you also need to
open the Configuration Editor and delete everything under "/apps/evolution". 
Also delete ~/.gnome2_private/Evolution, which is where your passwords are stored.
