I can confirm the issues Carpetnailz is having:


On a quite regular basis, every other day or so, I get similiar error
messages on several different mail accounts (two Gmail, a Yahoo, and a
Live mail account as well as my local LUG mail account). This does not
happen with all accounts simultaneously, they seem to take turns. But
that is only my subjective impression, I'll have to track the order
which mail account the messages refer to each time.

Here on my Sabayon 13.08 I have Evolution 3.8.5 which should still be
supported. I run Evolution mail on a desktop machine with MATE desktop
1.6 and on a laptop with GNOME 3.8.

Same Evolution behavior on a Debian Testing machine. I'm not quite sure
about the exact Evolution version should be 3.8.2, I will check next
time when I boot up that computer again, currently it is not running.
