If your application crashes, please get a backtrace. See
http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/bugs.shtml#backtrace or
https://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces/Details#Obtaining_a_stack_trace_using_GDB

Ubuntu should also have a tool to create such stuff automatically,
called "Apport". Don't know why it doesn't trigger for you.

Two signatures? Both with the "-- " in front of them, or how can I
imagine this? Which one is shown by the "Signature" dropdown in the
upper right corner in the email composer?

http://library.gnome.org/users/evolution/3.6/mail-composer-mail-signatures.html
covers how to use and set signatures.

Which reply type do you use by default? See
http://library.gnome.org/users/evolution/3.6/mail-composer-reply.html.en#default-settings
Does this also happen with other reply types?

Synchronizing what exactly?

Which calendar type is this about? A local one, or remote (Google
calendar, Ubuntu One, etc)?

What does "do not work" mean exactly? 
What exactly do you do, what happens, what doesn't happen?
