Comment 2 Stanislav Brabec 2008-03-27 18:00:16 UTC

It seems to be a bug on both sides:

pidgin calls e_book_get_contacts 6 times before opening new GW talk, at least once when opening menu and it opens two windows in parallel for Get buddy info. First one succeeds, second never finishes.

And e-d-s does not handle parallel requests properly - second query never finishes.

Comment 3 André Klapper 2013-07-23 14:37:30 UTC

evolution-groupwise provides connectivity to Novell Groupwise servers. The last stable release of evolution-groupwise was 3.4.2 which took place a year ago.

evolution-groupwise is not under active development anymore.

It is currently unlikely that there will be any further active development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping.

Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
