When I try to write a new e-mail while connected to the Microsoft Exchange server, Evolution crashes when I start typing an e-mail address into the e-mail address box. A list "sort of" comes up (I'm assuming these are results from LDAP based on what I have typed) and then my entire system hangs. I cannot use my mouse at all. I am forced to use my keyboard to call kill on every Evolution process. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install evolution-1.4.6 and ximian-connector-1.4.7.2 and their dependencies 2. Start Evolution 3. Open up a new e-mail 4. Start typing an e-mail address in the box. Actual Results: Evolution (and it seems like anything "behind" Evolution in the window) freezes. Expected Results: Returned the list of possibly matches for names and kept narrowing down the list as I typed (and not crashed). I'm not sure how to get a stack trace. The one thing that I did notice is that this bug did not turn up until I started using gnupg-1.2.6. However, even if I turn it off, I am still having the same problem.

Okay, after a good deal of additional testing, it seems that Evolution does not crash if I stop using the GnuPG key altogether. However, I never had this problem before until I started using the ximian-connector. Hope that helps.
I know they're rewriting the IMAP code for the next major release. Is this specific to gpg and imap? Does evo 2.0.3 work for you?
Or even evo 2.2?
Sorry for the length in reply. I have since discontinued using Evolution as my e-mail client. I'm going to close this bug unless someone else wants to reopen it.
