Re: Evolution Exchange Connector: UI freeze clarification

["Ahmed Sarfraaz" <asarfraaz novell com>]

Thanks for the approvals. 

Just to get some clarity on UI freeze, does popping up an error message,  [ which may or may not be already popping up in the application in some other scenarios ], lead to a UI freeze break ? I was under the impression that UI freeze is to help developers streamline the UIs with some minor tweaks, and also help the documentation team to get a clear picture of the application behaviour. Please dont misunderstand me, I am asking this, only to get a better understanding of this so that we can take care of these things well in the future releases.

Thanks

Yes, this is an addition rather than a change, so it's unlikely to
affect documentation. 2 of 2.
