[Evolution] Recurring, intermittent hang on reply, forward or creation

[Reid Vail <rsv869 runbox com>]

Hello group -

On one of our desktop computers running Linux Mint 17.3 and Evolution 3.10.4 we're
having recurring, intermittent trouble with reply, forward and sometimes with
message creation.  

This device has a lot of mail (just IMHO, 1.5gig compressed seems like a lot for a
home computer) but it's not my device and I'm just here to help. Could that be the
issue?

When it hangs there's constant disc activity and the CPU pegs, and the process table
show Evolution running more than 100%, whatever that means.

I ran Evolution from a command and captured messages and show them below because
it's pretty brief.  Just BTW... in the middle of this Evolution session I did a
message backup, and it just ends with a hang.  Hope it's OK that I posted this error
here.
