Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Install latest Evolution on Red Hat 7.3 2. Use NIS to mount home directories on NFS shares. 3. Set IMAP connection to Exchange server. Actual Results: Expected Results: How often does this happen? Additional Information:

I have gotten it to download the folders and then after a bit we get that error and you can't even restart Evolution after that. It stops downloading email after that error. You can close down Evolution, but when you restart it gets to the last icon and the splash screen goes, there is a box that blips up in the corner as if it was going to post an error, but that goes away. I was wondering if this could be a timeout error while trying to get a lock from the NFS share.
