Bug Description
Complex scenario, but managed to get evolution to hang.
1) Evolution was working on my home network via Cisco CB21AG wireless card, on
IBM T40, connecting to an exchange and an IMAP server
2) Hibernate laptop, remove CB21AG card
3) Resume from hibernation connected to a wired network (no CB21AG card
inserted) - computer is now on a different subnet, working via a different interface
4) Click 'Send/Receive' in evolution
5) Evolution hangs with the message 'Pinging IMAP server xxx.yyy.com', no
untoward messages on the console. Even the GUI update thread is stopped.
Have only done this once so far - I'll test again for reproducibility.
Dunno whether it's the change of primary network interface, change of subnet, or
due to the hibernation of the laptop that this problem happened.
Update:
Have reproduced this bug again going from wireless->wired network. subnet
changed, as did the interface being used to contact the IMAP server.
Question now is, how do we debug this issue? Are there any evolution debug
options I can set to get more detail of where the hang is?
BTW, this is with hoary - I'll test breezy once evolution is confirmed not to
eat your IMAP folders...
