Evolution is dead-slow

[Kevin Kempter]

Hi List;

I have needs to get one of my email accounts via exchange server (IMAP is 
turned off at the server) I'd use another tool if I could but the only native 
exchange tool I know of is evolution.

I got it configured and it works but every operation it does is dead slow.

Any ideas how to correct this?

turn off junk filtering, exit evolution, kill off any spamd processes
that are still running and then start evolution again is what worked for
me.

Just to check...

You don't have Outlook Web Access installed on the Exchange server?

They've turned off POP3 too?

Any chance you can get them to forward mail via SMTP?

I'm far from an Exchange expert, all I know is what i"ve gleaned 
from using it at work.

But,... my understanding is that Evolution requires OWA to be enabled.
If that's so, you should be able to use a web browser to connect to
OWA instead of Evolution. Unfortunately, the UI you get via the web
is pretty sucky. At least it's not quite so slow.
