I remember something similar a few releases back, but not recently. Try
checking the list archives.

No such issues here on a very similar setup (Intel Core 2 Duo but I
doubt that's the problem). Could you be checking something remotely,
e.g. an LDAP server?
A couple of more things: I can provoke "no echo" behavior reliably by starting to compose a message in "HTML" mode and then switching to "Plain Text". In fact, simply clicking on the "HTML/Plain Text" dropdown menu without changing mode can cause this. While evolution is in a "no echo" state, it responds to mouse clicks OK, but to nothing from the keyboard.
Evolution was started from a console, and has reported no errors (a very unusual situation).
Any ideas on how to debug? The situation is do bad that I may have to switch mail readers on short notice.
