Evolution crashes after half a minute -- see strace

[Albert Vilella]

Since this morning (20060831) I get a crash every 30 seconds, just by simply browsing the email.

I straced with:

strace -Ff -tt evolution 2>&1 | tee strace-evolution.log

Thanks for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use? A strace log is very verbose and not really useful, could you get a backtrace with gdb (or from the bug-buddy dialog open after the crash):
- gdb evolution
(gdb) run
...
(gdb) thread apply all bt

now it takes only about 5 seconds to crash...

What architecture do you use? Could you get a backtrace with evolution-data-server-dbg and evolution-dbg installed?

To give a bit more of information: if I disable the POP accounts and only use my IMAP account, then everything works fine. The problem seems to arise when browsing through folders and subfolders in the local Inbox, and trying to send emails from a POP account.
