Judging from the X-Mailer header field, you are using Evolution 3.12.11
(3.12.11-1.fc21). Is that correct?

To my knowledge, mbox is not used as often as Maildir, so there might
indeed be problems.

When Evolution hangs, could you please install the debug symbol package,
attach with GDB, `gdb --pid $theevolutionpid`, and provide a backtrace
(`set logging on /tmp/20150309--evolution-hang--backtrace.txt`, `t a a
bt f`)?

Very strange. Hopefully somebody else can help.


Thanks,

PS: It’d be awesome, if you would just send plain text messages to
mailing list with no HTML parts.
