First of all, autocompleting from GAL should not hang Evolution. Hope you have filed a bug on that. If not, while it hangs, file a bug attaching gdb traces for evolution-exchange and evolution and file a bug. And for selecting GAL only when you want it, don't select GAL for autocompletion in account preferences dialog and to select contact from GAL, while you compose a mail/meeting request, click on "To:" filed, which will launch a dialog, select GAL there and search for the contact. > 2. if you write names in compose window and then write click in the > name, you will not get any information about the user (not like in > outlook) > > it's will be nice to get some information , like the name or the phone number > I guess some bug is there on this. > 3. if you write names in compose window and write click you will find > "Edit" option in the popup menu (if I recall it's edit .... > something"), anyway if you select it , evolution will hang and you > have to kill it > This is to open contact editor for that entry, and it should not hang.

About moved mail getting marked as new mail, I am not sure. I don't use exchange connector.

See http://go-evolution.org/Exchange/Exchange26 for rest of the issues, file bugs so that respective maintainers will look at it.
