        Hi,
it would be good to see a backtrace of the frozen evolution, with
debuginfo packages for evolution and evolution-data-server installed, to
see where it got frozen and hopefully why. You can catch such backtrace
of running evolution with gdb command:
   $ gdb --batch --ex "t a a bt" -pid=`pidof evolution` &>bt.txt
Check the content of the resulting bt.txt file, that it doesn't expose
any private information. I usually search for "pass" (quotes for clarity
ony).

Would you mind to file this as a bug report to
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=evolution-data-server
please? It should be fixable. Please do not forget to send here a bug
link, for any future reference.
        Thanks and bye,
        Milan
