You start evolution-mail in gdb, let it crash, and then get a backtrace
for each thread (most of them will probably not be doing anything but
waiting for work).

i.e use:

info threads

will list which threads gdb knows about

thread N

Where N is the first number displayed for each row of output of "info
threads" will switch gdb to that thread, then as normal

bt

will show the backtrace of that thread.

Of course, it could also be things like memory corruption in 1 thread
causing failures in another :(  But well, maybe we'll be lucky.
