Hello,  
I’m working on a project for MS Exhcange, you can see my original post  
here: [Ruby iterating over Exchange Mailboxes - Ruby - Ruby-Forum](http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/147641#653801)

However, a colleague of mine told me that in order to rid of the error I  
am having, I need to release an object. Thus, how can I force the  
release of an object and get rid of my segmentation fault?

Thank you!!
