           Summary: Why does evolution try to guess account?
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

          Priority: P2

I've been trying to use the ubuntu/breezy version of evolution
(2.4.1-0ubuntu7) and evolution-exchange (2.4.1-0ubuntu1) for some time
now.

Sometimes, when I open mails that I have moved from exchange inbox to
my local folders, evolution crashes. Backtrace shows that evo is
trying to figure out whether it should do some receipt handling (dunno
why this would be needed when opening a filed message) and ends up
accessing a null pointer. The em_utils_handle_receipt() in
em-composer-utils.c calls guess_account() which returns zero (dunno
why the account needs to be "guessed") probably because the "url"
seems to be a file name.

I added checking for null before using the account var but something
else is probably more appropriate..
