Actually, this bug is upstream and very active. As it turns out, someone else has noticed this problem and is able to reproduce it and provide a healthy chunk of feedback (the person is using gkrellm to relate network statistics).

The reason I have continued to watch this bug so closely (even though I simply cannot gain access to an exchange server any longer) is because in my experience as an ubuntu advocate, one of the major complaints was that Evolution was not providing the same performance as Outlook (people are obsessed with the GAL in corporate america). I recognize this as a very crucial aspect of migration.

So that you may better understand the issue, there are one of two problems going on here. Either the communication with the Exchange XML endpoint is staling, or the requests are queuing up in the connector code to the point of deadlock.

Now, from the standpoint of certification of this distro, it would seem to me that someone, somewhere can help get a test server going so that we can actually give this thing a try. If I had somewhere to point, I would be testing it tonight.
