Hi!
I have just found a critical problem for us regarding the new Exchange connector 3, it seems that there's an issue when a user is not in the Service Manager database. For example our external contacts.
If there's an e-mail in the inbox to or from a contact that's not in the database, the Exchange Connector never finish the syncronization and we get lot's of these errors in the Operation Manager event log:
A Windows Workflow Foundation workflow failed during execution.
Workflow Type: Microsoft.SystemCenter.ExchangeConnector.ProcessEmailsWorkflow
Workflow Identifier: b2c8cd80-5959-bcec-6026-9d7d1eb9ddc4
Exception Type: System.Security.SecurityException
Exception Message: The source was not found, but some or all event logs could not be searched. Inaccessible logs: Security.

at System.Workflow.ComponentModel.ActivityExecutorOperation.Run(IWorkflowCoreRuntime workflowCoreRuntime)
at System.Workflow.Runtime.Scheduler.Run()
Maybe it's becuause it's trying to add all contacts under related items, do anyone know how to turn this off? Btw. this worked fine with the Exchange Connector 2.0.

As Travis has mentioned, the usual time you see this error is if the workflow account is not a local windows administrator on the SCSM management server.
Could you confirm if the connector works fine if the user sending the email is in the CMDB? If so, then it would seem to be an issue with the connector and we can look to investigate some more.
