Thanks for the bug report.  Please can you supply a backtrace of what evolution
is doing when it hangs?

You can find information on how to do this here:
http://fedora.linux.duke.edu/wiki/StackTraces

and here:

Connection with gdb to the hanging evolution process gives:

This happened with a mail I wanted to reply to. The mail itself resides on a
mail server which I access with evolution via IMAP.

Comment 4 Matthew Miller 2006-07-10 22:20:57 UTC

Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security
updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and
reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and
hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test
release, reopen and change the version to match.

Thank you!

Comment 5 Matthew Barnes 2007-01-01 03:01:23 UTC

Is this problem still present in Fedora Core 6?

Comment 6 Andreas Spengler 2007-01-01 11:08:20 UTC

No. IIRC, it was fixed with Core 5 already...

Comment 7 Matthew Barnes 2007-01-01 12:04:04 UTC

Thanks for responding.  Closing per comment #6.

Feel free to re-open this bug if you encounter the same problem in Fedora Core 6
or later.
