Bug Description
Linux Mint 16, 64bit
I use Evolution for email and I have 3 mail accounts (2 Google and one IMAP+ from my personal ISP). Ever since upgrading from Mint 15 to Mint 16 I've had a problem where when I first start using my computer every morning Evolution hangs, HARD, trying to retrieve the IMAP mail. The dialog for "Send & Receive Mail" shows the other two accounts are updated but the IMAP one never progresses. Trying to cancel does not work. Trying to exit normally (File->Exit or using the window manager X box) does not work. I have to open a terminal and run "kill -9". Then I restart it and it works completely fine... until the next morning. This happens every single morning without fail.
I've been awake late at night and it's continued to work so I have no idea at what time this actually happens or what might be going on to trigger it. It's not just leaving it alone since I'm gone at work all day and it's idle for more hours than I'm sleeping.
If I attach to the process with strace or whatever it shows that one of the threads is stuck waiting on a mutex of some kind.
