First, its funny that you lose the "Hide Read Messages" settings,
because that setting seems to "stick".  I seem to always lose the
Threading preference.

I've had very few crashes of Evolution while it is running.  (My ISP
does not support IMAP.)  My problem is that it rarely finishes shutting
down.  The little "Evolution is exiting" box usually lasts forever (the
only times it doesn't is when an evolution component crashes, and I have
to restart).  During a "normal" shutdown, I have to "killev". 
Otherwise, while the "Evolution is exiting" box remains up, I can't
restart.

Seems I lose the settings no matter which way I exit.
