Description Milan Crha 2012-06-20 10:34:43 UTC 
Each start of evolution-source-registry I see unnecessary rewrites of associated .source files, as the first change:
 - : GalUid=1340188316.21784.1@zyxPad
 + : GalUid=1340188320.21802.1@zyxPad
and the second which creates a new GAL .source file. This is not needed once the GAL is configured (consider disk writes on start, cache reload and so on).
Comment 1 Matthew Barnes 2012-06-21 16:25:09 UTC 
Yeah, it's because the folder ID for the default Global Address Book is NULL, and ECollectionBackend interprets that as unrecognized, so it creates a new UID for it on each startup.  Think I just need to pick something non-NULL.
Comment 2 Milan Crha 2012-06-26 09:40:51 UTC 
My ~/.cache/evolution/sources/<ews-account-uid>/ is full of useless .source files, current 49 of them. Quiz question: How many times did I run evolution-source-registry since the last cleanup of the folder?
