Bug Description
I had left evolution running overnight. It seems to develop issues after being left to run for a while on my current system.
This morning I returned focus to the evolution window and tried to view the latest email from my Exchange account in the preview window. "retrieving message 'AQMk...'" is displayed in the preview area and after a short while the application turns gray, suggesting that the process has hung. It has been that way for about an hour, so I started trying to collect some diagnostic info.
$ ps -elf | grep evolution

I'll attach the other data as .txt files in a bit.
