The update in proposed seems to allow me to connect. I was still having the issue where many tasks would show up in the bottom that would prevent me from doing anything (reading any emails, looking in any folders, etc), but I discovered that uninstalling the tracker-miner-evolution package eliminated this problem as well. I don't know if that was a new addition in 10.10 or not, but I never saw the problem in 10.04.
