I get “unfortunately exchange services has stopped” a few days after setting up exchange email

Question

On my Motorola Xoom running 4.0.3 I can set up an exchange email account and it will work for a day or so then it will give the "unfortunately exchange services has stopped" error after checking for new messages (takes a long time to check). I can re-create the account and it will re-download the emails and contacts but then it errors out again soon.

Answer 1

I think I've found the problem. The user has over 19 thousand emails in his inbox. I'll check this as the answer once I've confirmed it (he needs to clean up the emails first).
