From: Mark Evenson To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, mark.evenson@gmx.at Cc: Subject: Re: ports/98377: evolution 2.6.2 has stopped working with Exchange Date: Fri, 29 Dec 2006 09:31:16 +0100 Addendum: As of evolution-2.8.2.1/evolution-exchange-2.8.2, mail with my Microsoft Exchange backend is now working again. No specific cause was ever determined from my side: something serendipitous happened "upstream". Sometimes Evolution gets wedged after improper shutdown (like a crash) giving an erroneous "Lost connection to backend Exchange process" dialog. Assuming you have all your important information in the Exchange account (i.e. nothing locally), the fix I have found to work is to rm -rf $USER/.evolution and $USER/apps/evolution.
