[Evolution-hackers] 2.22.3 Breaks evolution-scalix?

[Pat Suwalski <pat suwalski net>]

Hello,

I have more or less taken over maintenance of the evolution-scalix 
connector. I am, admittedly, not very familiar with Evo.

I am requesting help as the update to Evolution 2.22.3 breaks 
Ubuntu/8.04, Debian Sid, and Fedora/9 in different and interesting ways. 
Everything worked very nicely with the earlier 2.22 versions in the 
distributions mentioned.

Ubuntu and Debian:
After the upgrade, Evo basically sits there indefinitely trying to 
synchronize eMail. I get "Fetching envelopes", then it sits at 
"Generating message list" and "Refreshing folder" for ever. If I start 
in offline mode, or press the button to go offline during "Fetching 
envelopes", everything seems to behave properly once I go online. I 
noticed some commits not long ago to the exchange plugin regarding 
offline/online mode. Any suggestions?

Fedora:
Doesn't seem to have the above problem. But the calendar appears to stay 
read-only. That is, no new appointments can be added to the remote 
calendar. The calendar communication is actually handled by 
evolution-scalix, so perhaps this is internal to the plugin. I haven't 
gotten very far in debugging this, but if anyone is aware of any changes 
that might have triggered this kind of behaviour, I'd love to hear of them.

Perhaps someone more familiar with the changes can comment and offer 
some direction to solutions. I am not quite sure how to begin debugging 
either of these.

Thanks,
--Pat
