Bare with me for improper intending, wish I could use something other than groupwise client to communicate.

I am in the same network. ping takes 0.3 ms. bandwidth is close to 5-6 MBPS.

Performance using broswer is good.  I am actually wondering if my settings are wrong somewhere, since ximian-connector-setup says that I need some additional features on the server. Do you have any clue where can I find that iis-lockdown.html document. 





Evolution has a bug in the search bar where all messages will be
searched for a null string, if the text entry field is empty.  This
absolutely kills performance, because among other things it prevents any
incremental rendering of the message list (every single header of every
message will be checked before displaying anything at all).

I posted a fix last week, see the archives.



Thanks for the patch. Will definately help. I wish I can also code and do something more useful for evolution.
Currently I am working on major customers who are willing to migrate away from Windows, but I need to sort out a few issues for them. Evolution-Exchange just being one of them.
