Me too!

Evolution worked almost flawlessly for a couple of years on my previous
laptop, running 10.10. New laptop, running 64bit oneiric, evolution
manually installed and data imported from a backup. Evolution crashes
randomly: at least a couple of times every morning, while starting up,
while refreshing folders, while doing absolutely nothing. And after a
while, with me doing absolutely nothing it starts working. Oh and have I
mentioned the sudden crashes if I unplug the network? Or if I put
evolution in "online" mode after switching it offline before unplugging
the network?

(Sorry for ranting)

Title:
  Evolution crashes almost randomly

Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evolution

  Filling this bug report in order to provide additional informaions, as requested in #579928.
  As already reported:

  I think this should be considered a major: never experienced such a disaster with Evolution, and I'm using it from two years ago. Evolution just keeps crashing randomly: it can happen while editing a message or simply by itself, not necessarily while sending/receiving messages, but often while (apparently) doing absolutely nothing. The program just closes silently, without any kind of warning, eventually it recovers uncompleted messages at next restart, but it continues with it's strange behavior.
  I hope this can be fixed quickly, because e-mailing is a quite fundamental activity.
