All I'm saying is that you posted the same message twice, several days
apart. There is no difference in the information supplied in the two
messages. If you didn't get a reply first time, you should assume
either that a) no-one can help, or b) your message wasn't clear enough.
Just repeating the same thing isn't normally a useful strategy.

Usually that means it's waiting on something that won't happen. As Ralf
says, the alert is probably from your desktop environment rather than
Evolution, but the underlying cause is likely to be that Evo is waiting
to hear from a server that isn't responding for some reason. Any time
this has happened to me I find that forcing quit and restarting solves
the problem. It's annoying but it seems to happen a lot less than it
used to with older versions.
