        Hi,
I wish I know how to reproduce this. It happens from time to time that 
the operations are not finished properly for some reason and the jobs 
are left in an active queue. One symptom was that there was no 
imapx_parser_thread() for the corresponding account, but that doesn't 
seem to be the case for you (I guess so from the log).

That the evolution doesn't quit is "intentional", it is waiting for 
the ongoing activities to finish. Such activities can be usually seen 
in the status bar, thus as long as there is anything shown evolution 
doesn't quit, giving the operations a chance to be finished properly. 
The upcoming 3.14 will have a feature that, if the quit will not 
finish within one minute, the users will be asked to force quit (or if 
a user tries to close evolution's window again). Kind of workaround 
for such situations.
        Bye,
        Milan
