Bug Description

after some time when evolution runs in a wild loop of fetching messages and removing messages from cache. It also locks my ldap account on the active directory sometimes when it is doing this.
I think this is triggered that I delete messages from my phone and have my evolution client also open.
The connector I use is mapi Exchange 2007

Ubuntu 12.04 x64 NL
3.2.3 Evolution version

This bug affects me as well.

I did not encounter locks of the ldap account though.
But the hyper-activity of Evolution leads to maximum i/o usage which sooner or later blocks the whole system. It is really hard to close Evolution then, because even the mouse pointer needs minutes to move ...
It takes approx. 3-4 hours until this behaviour occurs.

The Exchange email account is used in parallel from 2 other clients as well (Outlook).

Kernel 3.2.0-29-generic

Today I catched Evolution at a stage where it seems to be in an earlier stage of looping.

For this situation _it seems_ that it got trapped at fetching informations of emails from the draft folder again and again and again. Clearing the draft folder via the other clients and restarting Evolution solved this.

I upgraded to 12.10 and now I use the EWS service to connect.
This problem did not occur anymore with the EWS connector.
It seems related to the mapi connector.
