You must not use it with Exchange.  The exchange OWA connector crashes
every time I restart evolution.  The MAPI connector is barely usable at
this point--though it's improving slowly.  And nothing about Evo is
compatible with Exchange 2007 yet.   And the whole thing does crash
occasionally, just for kicks, it seems.
