"Save current page"??? Sorry, I have no idea what you are talking about.

Which "drop-down menu"?

Yes, that seems reasonable.  Most distributions structure it that way.
Evolution has Mail, Calendar, Tasks, and Memo modes (sub-applications).

What was the crash error message?  Did you file a bug-report? [Note that
Ubuntu, in their infinite wisdom, ships an old version of Evolution].

Yes, that is because Evolution components are used by other GNOME
components.

Adequately describe the issue.  If you have a crash situation then run
"evolution" from GNOME terminal and when it crashes you should see some
kind of error message.

I don't know what "menubar" you are talking about; if you mean GNOME's
panel menu than, no, that is setup/configured by the distribution
[Ubuntu, in your case].
