I have worked with couple of users on this in #evolution IRC channel in irc.gimp.org. Can anyone of you - whoever is facing this issue - give me a scenario to reproduce this reliably? I can guarantee a fix in 2 days, once I have the scenario. Our test environment works fine and that cannot be really relied upon for such bugs. > 442186: Delete of the first Exchange message after Evo starts takes > ~30 seconds > This is just a small thing but (combined with 442098 which causes me > to stop/start Evo many times a day) it's quite annoying. > This is fixed and will be committed for 2.11.5.

We weren't doing great with bugzilla, but, recently we started improving our activities. However, it would take little time and in order to quicken up, I have created http://www.go-evolution.org/Connector-bugs for easier interaction with the development team.

Yes, it is possible and you don't need other GNOME 2.19 modules - except libsoup, gtkhtml, EDS, Evolution and Evolution-exchange for running latest and hot 2.11.x code base. Thanks, V.
