Description of problem:

When evolution is started, the Exchange folders are scanned, available messages
are displayed in the message list pane, and can be read or moved to local folders.

After a while (less than 10 minutes I'd say), this breaks. New messages are
still being indicated (counted up) in the folder pane, but upon selecting the
Inbox folder under the Exchange account the message list pane remains empty, and
no Exchange email can be accessed.

Quitting and restarting evolution makes those new message available, but after a
short while the problem re-occurs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

evolution-webcal-2.4.1-3.4
evolution-2.6.2-1.fc5.5
evolution-connector-2.6.2-1.fc5.4
evolution-data-server-1.6.2-1.fc5.1

How reproducible:
As described above.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start evolution, fetch all available Exchange email
2. Wait a while
3. New Exchange mail is indicated but not accessible

Additional info:

This problem first occured after the upgrade to version 2.6.2-1 and associated.

Probably related:
When the Inbox problem occurs, the Deleted Messages folder under the Exchange
account is affected as follows: I can expunge the folder, and get a progress
indication in the status bar, but the message list remains unchanged (instead of
being cleared). After restarting evolution the message list for the Deleted
Messages folder is empty and shows that the expunge action did in fact succeed.

When the problem occurs, sending mail via Exchange as well as Exchange Calendar,
Contacts and GAL keep working, i.e. the Exchange Connector isn't dead.
