More info:

1) Stopping evo:
evolution --force-shutdown
Shutting down evolution-data-server-2.22 (Evolution Calendar file and
webcal backend / Evolution Addressbook file backend)
Shutting down evolution-alarm-notify (Evolution Calendar alarm
notification service)

2) Starting evo manually from a terminal:
CalDAV Eplugin starting up ...
evolution-shell-Message: Killing old version of evolution-data-server...
** (evolution:18813): DEBUG: mailto URL command: evolution %s
** (evolution:18813): DEBUG: mailto URL program: evolution
e-data-server-ui-Message: Unable to find password(s) in keyring (Keyring
reports: No matching results)
e-data-server-ui-Message: Key file does not have group 'Passwords-Mail'

3) Giving imap password in popup.

Adding a new email address and starting a new mail: Result: The
address bok is empty)

Terminal output:

use of shape masks or shape regions.

`gtk_tree_row_reference_valid (reference)' failed
Clicking on contacts: The addressbook is diplayed.
Searching for the newly added entry: The new entry is not there

5) Back to mail and the to contacts: The error on the crashed
addressbook given earlier is displayed. 
No more terninal output.

6) Stooping evo:
evolution --force-shutdown
Shutting down evolution (Evolution Shell)
Shutting down evolution (Evolution Shell)
Shutting down evolution-exchange-storage (Evolution Calendar Exchange

Shutting down evolution-alarm-notify (Evolution Calendar alarm

I will file a bugreprt later, it seems you have to register to do that.
