Please describe the problem:
I use Evo 2.12 (ubuntu 7.10) in an office environment, connected to an exchange server.

I works fine except when I open of my contact entries, modify it, and then click OK. I get an error message with title "Error modifying contact" saying: "Other Error"... which is not very informative.

This happens when I edit any of my relatively recent (2 year-old or newer) outlook contact entries. When I edit my oldest contact entries, it works fine, the modifications get saved and all. It's weird.

I can create a new contact and fill in all fields with no problems. I can click OK and the new contact gets saved. If right after that I reopen the new contact and change any field and then click OK, I get the error message mentioned above.

I can also delete and copy contacts with no problems.

The only annoyance is with contact edits. Unfortunately I use this a lot ...

I believe that with Ubuntu Edgy this was working fine. Then Feisty and now Gutsy have this broken evolution feature.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Connect to an exchange server (my company's at least...)
2. add a contact, then click ok
3. open the contact, then change some fields (for example: add a note)
4. click OK: you get the "Other Error" uninformative message


Actual results:
you get the "Other Error" uninformative message (title: Error modifying contact)


Expected results:
The new information should be stored in the contact entry

Does this happen every time?
Yes. 100% of the time, with the newer contacts. 

Other information:
Launching evo from a terminal doesn't show any extra information when this error is produced.
