Bug Description

Hi. I'm running Evolution 3.6.4 on Ubuntu 13.04. Sometimes it decides to do the following operations:

Saving user interface
Retrieving message
Unknown background operation

This results in the main Evolution window freezing. Items from the menubar (file etc) are still accessible and work. However, clicking on things like email messages and folders has no effect. I still receive email messages over IMAP when they are sent to me. The 'Unknown background operation' repeats itself until evolution is specifically killed using signal 9. Clicking the close button or selecting close from the Unity quicklist doesn't close Evolution. This either happens while browsing emails, or even when Evolution is just left running in the background. I'll attach logs and a screenshot which will illustrate what happens momentarily.
