        Hi,
that'w weird, re-login worked fine here, using Fedora 22.

Only if you have a backtrace (as you do not) or you are able to
reproduce and provide the backtrace (which you currently cannot). :-)

It seems to me it crashed during the initial update, thus possibly some
contact caused the crash. Or it could even be the account adding as
such. In any case, if you could install debuginfo package for evolution
-data-server, then try to log off the GUI session, switch to a text
terminal (for example, Ctrl+Alt+F3), then remove the cache for the
address book at
   ~/.cache/evolution/addressbook/<some-weird-uid>/
Search the content of the folders for some contact email address to
pick the right one to delete. It's only a local cache, thus no harm to
delete it. Only make sure none evolution-addressbook-factory* process
is running when playing with the files (the logout should make sure
there will be none, but as the re-login didn't work even earlier...).
Then restart the machine and let's see whether the factory will crash.
Ideally try to get the backtrace of the crash, in case you've any
"crash catcher".
        Bye,
