I too have had chronic stability problems with Evolution, namely
evolution-2.26.3 running under Fedora 11 with all upgrades on an x86_64
system.

Several times a day evolution crashes, doesn't respond to input or
refresh its window.  Generally, if I click on the window decoration to
delete the window, the window manager (gnome) puts up an error box that
evolution is not responding and asking if I want it killed.  When I
respond yes and restart evolution it runs fine for a while, then crashes
again after a while.  Sometimes no box appears (evolution must be
responding to a message from the window manager, though nothing is
visible on the screen), and in this case evolution has to be killed from
a command window.  All of these crashes seem to be quite random: the
evolution window can be visible on hidden (when visible) displaying or
composing mail or doing nothing.

Has there been any progress fixing these crashes lately?
Evolution-2.26.3 is the latest from the Fedora repositories, but the
evolution web site states that 2.28.0 is now out.
