I have exactly the same issue. This is actually making evolution less stable than it used to be in Edgy (and Dapper).
As soon as I connect to a network, evolution tries to sync with Exchange. However it will take me some time to set up the VPN. By the time the VPN comes up, Evolution is already trying to connect and it will hang until it is killed. I've tried to wait to see if it recovers, but even after an hour it still hangs. This is exactly why I used the "--offline" when I start Evolution, but that seems to be ignored when the network comes online. I think that if "--offline" is specified, it should not try to change things automatically when network connect / disconnect. -- Evolution doesn't remember online/offline mode in Feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120728 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
