Created attachment 211075 [details] output from evolution itself
Created attachment 211077 [details] gdb log I treid gdb following the suggestion from gnome-evolution offcial websites. I don't know how to use gdb at all so please tell me if you find this is useless and need more useful information. Thanks
Some symbols are missing, you must rebuild gtk+,glib, libbonoboui, evolution-data-server and orbit with -ggdb CFLAG. Then please re-attach the complete backtrace without missing symbols. Have a look at [1]. 1. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml
Created attachment 211096 [details] new log Besides the packages you suggested, I also re-emerge "libical, libgnomecanvas, glibc, libbonobo, nspr" with -ggdb and in particular glibc with "debug" USE. Please tell me if you need more information. Thank you for your concern.

Thank you. > Yup but it's no fixed here for 2.28.1, so until evo-2.28.2 is out, we need to fix it . see http://git.gnome.org/cgit/evolution/log/?h=gnome-2-28 and check the timeline
