Yes.  They were still unresponsive.  I could check
the checkbox and click on OK in the test release
warning window, but the window wouldn't go away.
The password entry window wouldn't accept any
events.  Both windows refreshed fine.

OK.  I just verified that behavior in f10 too.  I get a
password prompt independent of --offline.

Is evolution-mapi included in f11 alpha?  I didn't see it.
I'd prefer to start using that because I've had nothing but
trouble with exchange connector.
