Recently I had Evo freeze on me quite often - until I removed an LDAP
address book and since then, not a single lockup. The freezes were when
displaying mail and it turns out that the "load images from people in
address book" (or whatever) was causing problems.  The LDAP address book
happened to be connected through a DAVMail connector to our enterprise
exchange GAL - some 40000 addresses - so where the network problems were
I don't know, but looking at straces and debug logs it doesn't look like
it was a problem with Evo directly, but more a problem with Evo not
recovering gracefully from data flow problems elsewhere.
