Ok I could try to do that, if necessary.

Hi Milan,
I have set up a VM with evo 3.16.2.1 and the problem does not happen
there. The account I set up in 3.16.2.1 is exactly the same as the one in 3.12.11 (I manually copied each 
option). The only difference I am aware of is that the "working" Evo has only 1 account defined, the "faulty" 
one has more accounts. Just to be sure the problem was not related to having more than 1 account active (and 
don't want to set up tons of parameters in multiple accounts (By the way: it were nice to have a feature to 
backup the configuration of one (or more) account(s) and restore in another Evo installation)), I disabled 
all other accounts in the faulty Evo, and the problem still occurs there.

As far as I can understand the answer is no: the evolution-data-server package I have installed is called v. 
3.12.11-0ubuntu1, which (according to [1]) was released on 2015-02-23

Now, is there anything else I can try? Maybe setting up evo 3.12.11 in a new user account (as Patrick 
suggested) in the same machine of the faulty one could help to understand if something is related to some 
processes, file system issues, or don't know what else...

Thank you very much,
Andrea
