Bugzilla Bug 138715

Evolution-exchange sees and lists my emails from an exchange server correctly;
however, when I click on the subject line of the email to view it, the preview
pane is blank (and so is the main frame when I double-click to open the message
in a new window). evolution-exchange then begins to play with my processor.

Schweet, that seems to have solved my problem also.(I was getting lockups,
segfaults, and other weird behavior from evo. When I saw the processor spike
I'd usually get a message "Lost connection to exchange-storage backend process"
but e-e was still running. -- after building a patched e-e these seem to have
disappeared.) 

Suggest it be included in the next ebuild, I can post the ebuild hackjob I did
if anyone's interested.

Would you please post an "ebuild hackjob" :-) ? I'm having the same simptoms
since upgrading to 2.6.2 from 2.4.2 - evo is locking up with "lost connection
to exchange backend..." message.

Yeah, that was my reaction. Thanks for the pointer, John! (This has been
killing me for 2-3 weeks; webmail OWA sucks rocks for real work.)

thanks, i've put this into cvs as 2.6.2-r1.
