confirming this bug. i see this happening.
bug #326804 probable duplicate??
Set target milestone to 2.8
I can't reproduce this with the latest Evolution on Mandriva Linux 2007. Vic, can you confirm this bug has been fixed?
Yes, it still happens for me with 2.8.1, Ubuntu Edgy.
Is your gnome-keyring-daemon running ? Also, I want to know if you get any password dialogs.
I still see this with evolution 2.10.0-0ubuntu1. gnome-keyring-daemon is running, and I don't get any password dialogues.
After some observations, I could reproduce it. For me, it's not related with a default account, I could do this even on non-default account, but it depends on an account type. For a local spool account it works just fine, but for IMAP account, it crashes, sometimes with 'glibc detected double freed memory', sometimes because other issue. I think, it depends on a speed of enable/disable clicking too, if I disable account during its loading time (or if the account is active/does something), then it will crash with bug buddy, but otherwise it will crash on double freed memory and freeze (no bug buddy for me). It seems to me that it depends on the opening component too, somehow. If I start evo with mail component, then it will crash, but if I start with calendar component, then it will not crash, either I call Edit->Preferences from calendar view, or even I activate mail component and be slow enough, then it survive. It seems to me it's related with a folder tree, somehow. Does any dev have any idea? I would like to help with this, you know. :)
Bumping version to a stable release.
I tried to reproduce this with the latest Evolution stable 2.22.3.1 and some how I could not even though I tried many times. Is this reproducible to anyone still and if so could provide fresh traces with latest stable? TIA.
Works for me.
As per the above comment closing this bug. Please feel free to reopen if you find the issue again. Thanks.
