Thanks for the bug report. Unfortunately, that stack trace is not very useful in determining the cause of the crash. Could you please install some debugging packages [1] and reproduce the crash, if possible?

Once bug-buddy pops up, you can find the stacktrace in the "details", now containing way more information. Please copy that stacktrace and paste it as a comment here.  Thanks!


[1] debugging packages for evolution, evolution-data-server and gtkhtml,
    plus debugging packages for some basic GNOME libs. More details can
    be found here:

I have installed the debugging packages, but I am not sure if I can reproduce the crash, as I just opened Evolution, it started to automatically fetch my email from my 2 pop-accounts, and then it suddenly crashed and bug-buddy popped up.

If it happens again though, I will attach the (hopefully) more useful debugging stack trace to this bug.

I barely posted the previous command and Evolution crashed again when receiving mail (this time when I pressed the Receive mail button). Following is the stack trace pasted from bug-buddy (I removed my mail server from the trace for privacy reasons):
