I've seen this. It happens once in a while, without much consistency. Evolution 'grays out' after I hit close and just sits there, and sits there, and sits there.... I shutdown anyway, and there haven't been any issues. When sitting there stalled it really doesn't appear to be doing anything. My *guess* is that the issue is related to the miserable way Evolution handles dropped or lost network connections [basically it pretends they didn't happen and gets all plugged up]. While I have a bit of mail in "Local Computer" almost all my mailboxes are via IMAP [why would anyone use anything else?!]. I have a few large virtual folders.
