[Evolution] IMAP + Exchange connector synchronization

[Sohail Somani <s somani fincad com>]

Hi,

I want to use IMAP for email (I find the exchange connector too slow)
but I want to synchronize my contacts and calendar with the Exchange
server.

Is there a way to do this without loading the Exchange connector or even
doing it periodically in an automated manner? The reason I don't want to
load the Exchange connector is that the plugin seems to take some 400MB
of memory(!)

I am not subscribed to the list (don't shoot me, Evolution works so I
don't need to!) so I would appreciate a CC in the reply.

Thanks for your time,

Sohail
