Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

While accessing my IMAP mailbox, Evolution will occasionally be able to retrieve the subject line, sender, date, and headers for a new message, but be unable to retrieve the actual message for several hours (if I let it run that long). Exiting Evolution results in it hanging indefinitely during whatever shutdown voodoo it goes through; it usually has to be killed from the command line.

During these hangs, the IMAP mailbox can be normally accessed using either thunderbird or balsa, so this hang does not appear to be a problem with the IMAP server. Also, this may or may not be related to Evolution not filtering mail from this account (bug #70891).

Thank you for your bug. Could you get a backtrace (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace) for the hang with libglib2.0-0-dbg evolution-data-server-dbg evolution-dbg installed?
