I see in the backtrace that this is caused by the mail-notification plugin, which is trying to send a DBus message about newly received emails, but the description strings seems to be UTF8 invalid, which GVariant resolves simply, it aborts the application.

As a workaround, please go to Edit->Plugins, choose Mail Notification plugin and in the Configuration tab uncheck a "Generate a D-Bus message" option.

I cannot reproduce this myself, I suppose this was just a coincidence crash. As a workaround, I committed a change to the sources to check whether values going to be passed into GVariant are still UTF8 valid (which they should). I also changed couple other issues I noticed in the message-list which I faced when moving between folders quickly (moving as selecting different folders).

Created commit 40346a7 in evo master (2.91.92+)
