Comment 1 Brian J. Murrell 2012-08-16 23:02:48 UTC

Also seen with evolution-data-server-3.4.4-1.fc17.  For what it's worth, I had no connection to the EWS server when this happened.  Perhaps that's related.

Comment 2 Milan Crha 2012-08-20 12:54:58 UTC

You are right, it's related. The connection argument passed in as 'cnc' is NULL, thus it crashes when the code tries to dereference it. I'll check what I can do with it.

ews patch

for evolution-ews;


I think there is nothing better to be done than postponing the scheduled update, if the backend is not connected currently.

Created commit 87be19d in ews master (3.5.91+)
