Hi Jonathan,<BR>
I've, (based on 30 mins use only) got evolution more stable in talking to exchange. Basically, syncing the exchange GAL was killing the evolution connector - I used "strace" on the evolution-exchange connector to find this out. <BR>
<BR>
What I've done to make it more stable, which has worked for this afternoon is:<BR>
made sure the GAL returns no more than 50 address book entries per query <BR>
turned off caching the GAL for offline use.<BR>
<BR>
These combined changes have stopped the evolution-exchange process from getting into long transactions with exchange and getting stuck into some kind of loop or unfinished poll.<BR>
<BR>
Let me know how this works for you if you decide to try the changes.<BR>
<BR>
