Re: [Evolution] "Backend is busy" messages, all the time

[Chenthill <pchenthill novell com>]

Hi Chris,
       Its because eds can handle only one call at a time from its
clients. If any concurrent call is made, the warning is displayed. This
has been partly fixed in evolution-2.26. It will be completely fixed
with the dbus port for EDS.

See - http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347287 .
