I use an LDAP server and I have never seen this happen. I have been using Evolution as my e-mail client since it became the default in Fedora (at least 4 or 5 releases ago I think). I do use the Palm sync capabilities; that seems to mostly work well as long as I only sync in one direction. As soon as I try syncing both ways, I end up with duplicated tasks, memos, and contacts that are a real pain to remove. I expect this happens in the lower level gpilot software rather than in Evolution itself, but I don't know that. I don't connect to any other calendar servers with Evolution, nor do I have any need to connect to Exchange, nor have I ever filed a bug against Evolution, so I cannot comment on those. I have not noticed Evolution trying to index everything on startup, but I have heard complaints about Thunderbird 3 doing this. I think Evolution has definitely gotten better since I started using it. I used to see it crash suddenly. I still have that happen but only once in a great while now. It used to have issues with it continuing to show me that there were messages in a folder when in fact it was empty. This too has been largely fixed in my experience. But in the end, it's always "use whatever works for you". --Greg -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
