Description of problem: Hello, I discovered an email sitting in my outbox which should have been sent earlier this morning. I selected the "Send/Recieve" button and evolution hung. The button stayed depressed. I captured gcores and BT's allround. Previous to the find that I had an email in my outbox I had a SIGABRT on exchange. I gcored that and saved it away. Upon startup of this evolution session I had a password prompt for the Task component. This is rare. Please see uploaded archive: evolution28-2.8.0-59.el4-send.recieve.botton.stayed.depressed.evolution.hung.tgz Regards, Nick Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: happens when evolution-exchange crashes Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: evolution hangs Expected results: evolution should probably pop up an error or warning dialogue after timing out. Additional info: Comments from SEG: I'm not surprised that evolution was hanging after evolution-exchange crashed. evolution was waiting on I/O from a non existent evolution-exchange. This is really not a bug although it's my belief that evolution should either: 1) popup an error dialogue asking if you want to restart evolution 2) have some way of restarting the exchange connection an application should not just hang because an error condition exists.

I believe evolution-exchange-storage has some capacity to restart itself if spawned through bonobo-activation-server. I think Nick tends to run the backend processes directly under GDB, which may be related to why Evolution couldn't recover. Even still, I agree the behavior is not ideal. Also, I can't seem to open the attached tarball. It appears to be corrupted.
Setting status to NEEDINFO in hopes of a new tarball.

Still corrupt, I'm afraid. Steve Beal indicated he couldn't open the attachment in IssueTracker either.
