Mike,
I cannot provide much info, other than me too. I see the data server
crashing occasionally too. I've seen it happen more often when
accessing the calendar.
I am using connector and attributed to back-end problems connecting to
our Exchange Server. I rarely see it at home connecting to my IMAP
server.
