>From your description of the bug, Yes, what you seem to be hitting is some consequence of syncing some updates. IIUC, I just leave a system running evolution-exchange and fetching mails, should reproduce this issue, isn't it, Paul? Let me prepare a system and watch it for a day to reproduce. Meanwhile, any lead in anyway to narrow it down to any particular scenario will be much useful for me to quickly jump into the issue and solve it. Thanks, V.
