I suspect someone at RH has fiddled slightly here - a few defaults are
different (for example the default search is "Subject contains" rather
than message/body (can't remember which) contains.

I haven't specifically noticed your problem but then I leave the folder
lists collapsed nearly all the time and work in a small number of
virtual folders, despite delivering stuff into piles of different
folders.

Yes.

DMalcolm's connector build mostly works - 
  http://people.redhat.com/dmalcolm/evo-1-4-connector/RPMS/

You need to sort the library path which is missed by the package.  Add
/usr/lib/evolution/1.4/ to ld.so.conf and do /sbin/ldconfig or create a
file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/evolution-connector.conf containing the line
        /usr/lib/evolution/1.4/
and do /sbin/ldconfig

The mostly works part is:-
     1. Evo/connector fairly often bombs when you delete a message,
        specifically seems to involve multiple message deletes maybe one
        has to be on exchange storage???  See
        https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=125535
     2. library path problem with workround above

I would like to see a better formatted build for this - it looks like he
(very kindly) knocked a package up but has not touched it since.

        Nigel.
