Hi Andrew,

Do you get a mail composer window to come up at all, or does it freeze
after you start typing an email address?  In the latter case, it might
be getting stuck while trying to complete an email address for you.
Check whether "autocompletion" is enabled for any of your address books
(particularly remote ones like LDAP) by going to Edit -> Preferences ->
Autocompletion.

Also, can you please file a bug about this at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/
so we can investigate this further off the mailing list?

Thanks,
Matthew Barnes
