Evolution crash

Thanks for a bug report. Is that green at the top of the screen the processor usage? If yes, is evolution the main part of it? If it is, then I suppose this is related to the upstream bug [1] and to commit [2], which is committed for 3.4.3 of evolution.

No, this is RAM usage. Blue is CPU usage. Problem is also after waking from sleep. RAM and CPU usage is normal.
during the update email accounts (when evolution freezes):

You are right, there is a known issue with waking from sleep. Could you install debuginfo packages for evolution-data-server and evolution and get a backtrace of the stuck evolution, thus we'll see what it does (or tries to do), please? You can do that with command like this:
   $ gdb --batch --ex "t a a bt" -pid=PID &>bt.txt
where PID is a process ID of running evolution. Please make sure the backtrace will not expose any private information, especially passwords (I usually search for "pass" (quotes for clarity only)).

backtrace during unsuccessfully updated email accounts

Thanks for the update. Even the backtrace is missing all debug information, I guess this is related to the upstream bug [1], which is backported for 3.4.3 release, which will be done next Monday, June 18th. I would wait for 3.4.3 of evolution-data-server and retest with it, to see whether it'll help here too.
