You don't say which version of Evolution which might be important.

I get the same problem on CentOS 7 with Evolution 3.8.5. Notices sent
from environment monitoring with 3 text attachments cause evolution to 
freeze for ~ 4 minutes.

I tried running with debugging turned on and with strace but didn't
get any more clues.  My current workaround is to filter those messages
to a separate folder and process them in alpine.
