Excessive logging when connecter to a wifi portal
My syslog do fill up fairly quickly (6G yesterday) with a repeating error message like the one below

It looks like it is failing to retrieve my calendar system (outlook) and keeps on looping without a pause between tries. This ends up filling my log.
This is occuring every time i loose my Wifi network connection:
- Wifi uses a portal: i do connect but get automatically disconnected after some time (using around 4PM)
- once i detect i have been disconnected, i need then to reconnect via the Wifi portal but a few minutes can fill-up plentty of logs up (my 8G /var/log file system gets full)
Reconnecting sometimes isn't enough: i usually need to clean my log manually (to recover some space in my /var/log file system) and somehow i need to restart service so it doesn't keep on logging errors.
