Hi,

the qute thing is my password has changed last week, so when I logged into my 
test env I upgraded to latest debian sid. I then started evolution (I usually 
run CAMEL_DEBUG=5 but not this time.

The problem is that it starts a migration process with a dialog widget and 
afterwards it prompts for the exchange password (Ithink this dialog is comming 
from the exchange plugin). Now as the migration process run first the 
corresponding dialog is blocking the input for the password dialog. I had to 
close the migration window and could enter the password successfully. The 
migration process finished (I think successfully). The behaviour of evolution 
is much much better. I need to test more and I will in the upcomming week

I have also completely removed the network manager (but this is off topic) and 
evolution seems to not complain. So in general it works much better.

What should I do for the above issue? (I know gtkmm and I know this is an 
issue with the dialog types and it is not that hard to fix) I could test given 
solution at any time.

regards
