Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
This bug report isn't very useful because it doesn't describe the bug well. If you have time and can still reproduce the bug, please read http://bugzilla.gnome.org/bug-HOWTO.html and add a more useful description to this bug.

can you run evolution with gdb and when evo freeze wrote in terminal thread apply all bt, thank
Comment 2 andyrtr 2011-06-06 04:39:00 UTC 
it turned out to be hanging due to leftover files from a former 2.2x evo package. After removing all local config files it works like expected. Sorry to waste your time. Feel free to close as invalid or no bug.

PS: a small note that you could have confirmed confirmed it to be working for you would have been nice though.

Thx.
Andy

small addition: the freeze is back after adding some messenger accounts. it looks like the msn account in the left lower corner breaks it. sometime only the "ok" button is greyed out, sometimes it freezes the whole shell. can you please try to confirm that this feature is working for you in your builds?

I'll try to get a debug build working. Is it enough to compile with export CFLAGS="$CLFAGS -g -O0" and prevent stripping our package?

   I am confirming this bug too.
   Few words about trouble: in 1st case freezes only evolution, in 2nd - full gnome shell.
   1st case happening when you trying to save _new_ address-book-entry with MSN-contact. 2nd case happening when you trying get access to address-book-entry with already filled MSN-contact.
   For unfreezing gnome shell I doing next: go into tty2, run `ps ax | grep evolution` and knowing evolution´ PID stop this process through command `kill`.

System: Fedora 15, GNOME 3 with all updates from official and Fusion repositories. Evolution v.3.0.2.
