After the latest update to evolution-data-server-1.12.1-2.fc8, my ldaps contacts hang evolution. Reverting to evolution-data-server-1.12.1-1.fc8 fixes the problem. It appears to only be with ldaps or password protected ldap servers. I have to ldaps servers with passwords and one ldap server with anonymous access. Only the ldaps servers hang evolution.
I think upgrading to evolution-2.12.1-3.fc8 will help. Can you please try that first and report back?
Yes, I meant to report that on Friday. All set now.
