Evolution becomes unresponsive when password on server has changed.

[Brendan Martens]

Binary package hint: evolution

I use Evolution to acces my work's exchange server. Whenever I change my password (required every 60 days) and forget to update evolution before closing it, then the next time I open evolution it will pop up a request for the exchange password, however in the background evolution is still trying to scan the exchange folders and it get stuck. Basicly I have to try to get the password in and press enter really fast before the evolution processes get stuck.

Can you please state your Evolution and Evolution-Data-Server versions?

Also, could you please run Evolution as follows:

env E2K_DEBUG=2 evolution > evo.log 2>&1

when you *know* you will be hit by the error, and then please attach the generated log here.

I'm changing this to "invalid" I believe that is correct. I no longer run Feisty which is the release I was in when I was getting this problem. I've upgraded to Gutsy. In evolution 2.11.5 there are some changes that should fix this problem (exchange folder scanning is getting tuned), so I believe it's safe to close this as a fix is coming.
