Any time I run evolution and send a message I get a usually fatal error. I'm new to this, please let me know if you need more/other information from me.

Cannot find thread 213003: invalid thread handle # can't continue (gdb) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start evolution and compose a message 2. send message (sometimes more than one needs to be sent) 3. evolution crashes Actual Results: same results with the variation that it won't always crash on the first message sent out. It has lasted as long as about 5-10 messages before crashing but I don't have debug info for one of those marathon sessions, sorry. Expected Results: Sent out the message and not lost thread handles.

Is there any more data I can gather to help? Anything else I can do to help?
hi, long time no activity here :) do you still have this bug ? if yes, can you provide a gdb backtrace with evolution and evolution-data-server compiled with debug flag. Did you ask for information on gnome bugzilla ?
please upgrade to evolution-2.6 ( just marked stable with GNOME 2.14 ) and re-open the bug if you can still reproduce it.
