Comment 16 for bug 175233

Evolution hangs ~ every 30min with me now; I get "formatting message" and nothing happens, as described by other users. Evolution must be killed (try killing evolution data server, if restart does no work either).

I've been using Evolution for five years now but I'll need to switch to the ugly cousin called Thunderbird which is really bad, since I also use the Calendar ... ;(
