[TriLUG] Evolution and Exchange/IMAP

[Matt Pusateri]

Yes, I've seen that happen, more in older versions(1+ years) of  
Evolution than newer(6months ago - when I last used it)   And for what  
ever reason, Evolution seemed more stable on Ubuntu than Fedora, but I  
never looked to see what code base they might have build from.   Also  
while I haven't looked at it at all, Evolution apparently also has a  
new exchange back end called Brutus, that may or may not be of use to  
you.  Evolution has always seemed buggy, but it's a lot better than it  
was!

Also I think there is a duplicate mail plugin for evolution that came  
in handy as I this problem seemed to cause duplicate mail items in my  
IMAP folders.
