more detail:

When I first start evolution, in the status bar on the lower right, it
says: "downloading new messages for offline mode (3% complete), after
10 min!

When I click on a message (even one that I had previously read -- ie
it should already be stored locally) it can take from a few seconds to
minutes to get the message text. The status bar on the right side will
say:

downloading new messages for offline mode (9% complete) -- even though
when I check with OWA, I have no messages that were new from the last
time I was in evolution live.

and

retrieving message 000000ed957d


now, once the system is really caught up ... and I can never tell how
long that will be ... then I can click on a message and I get the text
nearly instantly.

Hopefully I have described the situation well enough that someone can
at least tell me whether this is normal. Should I just get used to the
idea of starting evolution in the morning, but then logging into OWA
right away to do all my email for the first hour or so, while I let
evolution do it's thing? Seems silly, but .... what are my options?
