An additional, possibly related problem (evolution-exchange OWA
protocol) is that occasionally large numbers of messages just fail to
show up in the inbox.  I use the following script to fix it.  I can't
expect my users to do this, making the current state of evolution
inappropriate for deployment to non-technical users.

#!/bin/bash
echo "Completely shutting down Evolution..."
        evolution --force-shutdown
echo "Deleting indexes..."
        rm -rf ~/.evolutionn/exchange/
        rm -rf ~/.evolution/mail/exchange/
echo "Restarting Evolution"
        evolution &
