Description Norbert Wegener 2009-03-23 13:30:06 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
The exchange server that holds my account seems to hold more than 17000 folders.
Whenever evolution connects to that server all those >17000 folders are read.
This lasts around 30 minutes on every startup of evolution and makes it not very usable.

Steps to reproduce:
Using the actual ubuntu 9.04 with all pathces applied. Configure an account with an exchange-mapi server. 

Actual results:
When configuring the account,you have to click 'Authenticate' 
This usually fails the first time.
If you try again Authentication finished successfully.
Finish the configuration and you get the message: "Folder in Exchange MAPI server are being read(...)
My server holds more than 17000 folders. Every time I login, those folders are processed. 


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
Yes.

17000 ? :) thatz a alot . but yes we can look at how to reduce the number of times for scanning the folders.
Comment 2 WLigtenberg 2009-03-30 10:13:39 UTC 
I might have a related problem in the fact that the memory consumption sky-rockets. Evolution was at one time using 2.3G virtual. And caused my machine to go swapping. Also jaunty with all updates. But correct me if this is a separate bug, that I will create one.

Yes we have issues with bad memory consumption.

17000 folders are public folders or personal folders ?
Comment 5 Norbert Wegener 2009-05-22 07:56:32 UTC 
I have no clue, I even do not know the operators of that server. How do I determine whether the folders are public or personal?
Comment 6 Jamie Jackson 2009-05-27 14:49:53 UTC 
I've got the same issue: Hundreds or thousands of public folders being scanned each time.

I think this is probably a duplicate of bug 580682, but I don't have the rights to make that official.
