Thank you, Matthew and Ralf. I uninstalled Evo, deleted all data files except $HOME/.config/dconf, and then reinstalled and configured and ran from zero (without transferring any data from my other machine). Same thing. Evolution hangs. Here I should be more explicit. First, Evo never asks for a password even though I have indicated that one is necessary (hence my assumption that the problem lies with the keyring). Second, the send and receive processes hang in the sense that no mail is retreived and the processes cannot be canceled nor can the program be closed, even though one can do other things such as look at notes, etc.
There are some differences I see in setting up Evo in 3.10.2 under Mageia KDE and the 3.2.3 version I have in Mint and don't know if they could be the source of the problem. First, even though I indicate in 3.10.2 that passwords are required in POP and STMP, Evo does not ask if I want it to remember the password. Second, in 3.2.3 I have specified TLS Encoding, in 3.10.2 "STARTTLS after connecting". Third, on my Mageia machine Evo indicates two additional accounts: "Search folder" (set to "vfolder") and "On this machine" (set to "maildir").
