I upgraded my FC5 installation with yum update (to evo 2.6.2) . I'm
also using exchange connector, and now I don't get any new mails! To
be more precise, the folder (Inbox) lists unread messages, but they do
not appear in the message pane. If I quit evolution and restart I get
those mails, but mails that arrive after that are just listed in the
number behind Inbox.

As fas as I can tell all my Evolution components are 2.6.2. I have
also restarted everything (and also rebooted).

How do I debug this?
