Ok today was the first day for a while, that Evo worked very well in
the Exchange mode - no issues at all today. Very nice. 
Yesterday I had some issues with the backend processes disconnecting
again, funny enough only when I went to the calendar. Now what changed
until today. Today there was an update, but I did not recognize any
Evo lib's etc ... 

Now I am wondering whether there is a dependency to a longer delay in
the exchange server or a specific error message, which could cause
Evolution to lose contact withe the backend processes. My exchange
server is on the other end of the world and networks delays do happen
of course.

Most likely you're seeing this problem:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=512605

I know it doesn't seem the same at first glance but I've been running
evolution-exchange-server under the debugger and this LDAP crasher shows
up in all sorts of places; Evo is doing LDAP lookups for lots of
different reasons.

There's definitely some kind of timing component to it.  I can't find a
reliably reproducible test case, but sometimes it will happen to me 3-4
times a day and other times not at all.  For me, though, the FASTER the
response the more likely to get a crasher.  The slower my machine, or my
network interface (it's much harder to repro from home through my VPN),
or if I enable lots of debugging etc., it happens much less often.

And, I've not seen it happen once since I started running under valgrind
(but that's a heavy price to pay :-)).

Yeah, I was not having this problem with Gutsy/Evo 2.12.1, but was have
constant problems with Hardy/Evo 2.22.1 on the same box.  So much so
that I gave up and went back to a SLED 10.1/Evo 2.6 box which almost
never disconnects.
