GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 346532
Evolution-exchange scans the unsubscribed folders
Last modified: 2007-09-04 04:05:53 UTC
Please describe the problem: At startup evolution scans the unsubscribed folders too (the backend type is evolution-exchange). We have thousands of Public Shared Folders on the Exchange server, and it takes sometimes one hour to scan them. That's why I unsubscribed, but it didn't help. Steps to reproduce: 1. Start evolution 2. strace the evolution-exchange process 3. Actual results: Evolution-exchange process scanning all of the folders on the Exchange server. Expected results: Don't scan the unsubscribed folder structure. Does this happen every time? yes Other information:
Same thing happens on 2.8.0. My corporation has more public folders than employees (and seeing as how there are at least 4000 employees at this site alone... this takes A LONG TIME)
Poornima, i think we need to test this here.
I also have the same problem. I was able to open up Ethereal and watch the search traffic going back and forth between the exchange server. It appears that the plug is doing a depth first search through all of the public folders, instead of doing a breadth first search. Also as stated even if a folder is unsubscribed the plugin still proceedes to search the entire folder. In my organization this process usually takes 15 minutes or more, during this time it is impossible to read any email.

Refer to my blog about the improvements done to just do breadth-first and that too only on demand. http://vvaradhan.blogspot.com/search/label/Performance are some related blogs. Closing this bug as fixed, kindly re-open if you are still facing this issue.
