Bug Description
On Oneiric Ocelot 11.10, Evolution 3.2.2-0ubuntu0.1 corrupts attachments when saving from IMAP account. It hapens very often on MS Office files (not on all of them), which makes it practically unusable.
The IMAP server is local so network latency should not be a problem. Saving attachment from pine and then copying from server is ok, so it's not a problem of the attachment itself.
It might be related to the fact that sometimes the IMAP connection hangs indefinitely and has to be stopped. IMAP ping errors are also reported frequently (bad timeout management issue?).
Looking for an obvious answer on google, there might be one, but I had no success after a very long search time (and I am not a newbie), so I cannot tell if these problems have been fixed for more recent releases. No update that would fix this has been released so far for Ubuntu 11.10.
