Description Josh Triplett 2013-10-02 22:46:12 UTC 
Clicking on the "To" or "Cc" buttons on a mail, then selecting a corporate address book (EWS's "Global Address List") without actually entering a search yet attempted to load the *entire* address book, blocking the entire UI.  Evolution should never try to load the entire address book just because there's no content in the search box.

Thanks for a bug report. It depends on various things. Namely:
a) the EWS GAL is not populated when it's not cached for offline.
b) users can just browse the book for the contact, and there surely are users
   doing so
c) the problem is not the browse, but the size of the book and the way
   evolution populates its widgets, effectively blocking UI with large sets

Thus instead of limiting the users the Evolution's UI should be changed to not block UI for any large books.

There is one bug for this change, thus I mark this as a duplicate of it.
