Comment 6 for bug 271894

I have the same/a similar problem on current Ubuntu 8.04. Evolution hangs reproducibly when trying to close the program after a suspend/resume cycle. I remember older versions of evolution hanging on every sort of network anomaly. So it looks like there is some check for error condititions missing.

There ssems to be a connection to:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=551788

Their bottom line is:
------------------------------------------------
> In addition choosing File->Quit does nothing until it finally quits
> evolution about 10 minutes later.
Disconnect from the network in nm-applet and reconnect fixes this for me, but
it's annoying.
-----------------------------------------------

So it appears to be improper handling of changing networks/invalid sockets when doing suspend.
