        Hi,
it depends on the actual backtrace of the running/stuck evolution.
I guess you face this bug:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=712392
also because there really didn't change much in this regard in 
evolution between 3.13.5 and 3.13.6. The fix is included in today's 
3.13.7 release, together with other semi-related fixes. It'll be 
available in Fedora's rawhide within the next few hours.

Unknown is unknown, the operation didn't identify itself yet. 
Backtrace matters here, but I'd guess this is related to server 
address resolutions (it uses to be), thus also related to the above 
bug.

        Bye,
