Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

Just upgraded to 11.04. Have been trying evolution-mapi from time to time for our exchange 2007 since 2008. It still seems to be alpha level:
I can see mail (havent' tested sendig yet, last time it did not work with accented characters), but the exchange calendar seems totally empty and contacts is just giving error "Unable to open address book".
Rebooting did not help.
So back to davmail and TB where calendaring works, mostly.

Did a fresh install of Natty and things are better. So there was something wrong with my upgraded system.

Now I can see my calendar entries.
But I do not have the GAL. In first session it tried to cache all 40000 entries and crashed. After that it tries to open and then says "The Evolution address book has died unexpectedly...".
Iit seems to die after variable number of contacts (35 000 - 37 000) found.

I was also now able to send mail with accented characters in recipient name (without autocompletion from GAL, evolution dies is autocompletion from GAL is on when sending).

affects: evolution (Ubuntu) → evolution-mapi (Ubuntu)

I removed everything related to evolution in my home directory and killed gconfd, restarted and then I got contacts loaded. It took about 30 minutes. For a while everything seemed to work, although slow.
But now the address book is dying again. Sometimes it just hangs. Maybe over 40000 entries in GAL is just too much for current implementation.
