1.53.1. RHBA-2011:0800: bug fix update

An updated evolution-mapi package that fixes a crash is now available.
The MAPI extension for Evolution (evolution-mapi) allows Evolution to interact with MS Exchange 2007 servers.
This package fixes the following bug:
  • When accessing an address book on an Exchange 2007 server, a flaw in the MAPI extension caused the evolution-data-server process to occasionally crash. This was because evolution-mapi mistook EDataBookView as a GObject, instead of a bonobo_object, and as a result was reffing/unreffing it with g_object_ref/g_object_unref. This patch uses the proper functions for ref/unref, resolving the issue. (BZ#66642)
Users are advised to upgrade to this updated evolution-mapi package, which resolves this.
