My first ever Linux FREEZE

When my Evolution-Exchange sync finished, the first thing I tried to do was send an email. On clicking reply the whole screen froze and became unresponsive.
Evolution seemed to go into 100%CPU usage. "Force Quit" resulted in Evolutions next startup in safe mode but clicking reply again resulted in the same freeze.

Searching the web I found many people having the same problem, apparently its something to do with the way Evolution/Ubuntu/Exchange deal with the Global Address List. Going into preferences in Evolution and switching off Auto-Complete fixed the problem. But I now dont have auto complete for my email addresses which is mildly annoying but im sure "I hope" the developers will fix this issue soon.
