Re: [Evolution] Evolution hangs

Sorry, forgot. Evolution 2.30.3
It is polling MS Exchange server. I do not know how to find out what
version it is.
It hangs very often to the point of making it unusable (ironically, I am
sending this email via MS Outlook!). Someone else emailed me after
seeing this post and said he experiences the same problem - he said he
is also on Ubuntu 10.10.

It's a very old bug (or set of bugs) which has still not been completely
solved, though it happens less than it used to. Killing Evo (with
--force-shutdown) is the only fix I know of.

BTW, when asking questions about Evo it's important to state what
version you're using. Look under Help->About.
