There is a report in the gnome bugzilla about the same issue: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=451678

I have the same problem. I'm running kubuntu 7.04 (feisty fawn) with the following software versions:
evolution 2.10.1-0ubuntu2
evolution-common 2.10.1-0ubuntu2
evolution-data-server 1.10.1-0ubuntu1
evolution-data-server-common 1.10.1-0ubuntu1
evolution-exchange 2.10.1-0ubuntu1
mail-notification 4.0~rc2.dfsg.1-4build1
mail-notification-evolution 4.0~rc2.dfsg.1-4build1

I was also able to reproduce the problem on another computer, which is running gentoo with different software versions:
evolution-2.8.2.1
evolution-data-server-1.8.2
evolution-exchange-2.8.1
mail-notification-4.0

What the original reporter did not mention is that mail-notification does also freezes at the same time that evolution freezes. But it goes on running as soon as evolution is killed. Evolution does never unfreeze. Not even when mail-notification gets killed.

As a workaround you can exit MN before starting evolution and restart it after you entered the exchange password. Then it seems to run without problems.

I'll also attach some backtraces. But I don't know if they are useful. If you need more information to debug the problem don't hesitate to tell me.

BTW: You don't need an exchange server to test it. I was also able to reproduce the problem by adding an exchange account with a nonexistent exchange server to evolution and manually adding the mailbox to mailboxes.xml like this:
<mailbox type="evolution" uri="exchange://username@server/personal/Inbox" folder-name="Inbox"/>

Bleah. It turns out that Ubuntu repos don't have enough -dev packages (or else they're not the right versions) to be able to rebuild mail-notification on my box. I installed libgtk2.x-dev, libeel-dev, libgmime-dev, and a whole slew of other things, plus evolution-dev, but still when I configure mail-notification it says:

checking for EVOLUTION_PLUGIN... no
checking for EVOLUTION_PLUGIN... no
checking for EVOLUTION_PLUGIN... no
checking for EVOLUTION_PLUGIN... no
configure: Evolution not found: forcing --disable-evolution

There's no evolution-plugin-dev and I can't install evolution-data-server-dev due to broken prerequisites (even though these ARE Ubuntu-supported packages :()

It looks like my only chance to rebuilt mail-notification is to use GARNOME or something to compile Evolution from scratch :-/

Unless someone has a binary they could drop me (ix86, not 64-bit)?

You should start by upgrading to 4.0-RC2 and see if the problem persists.

I see this identical behavior (Ubuntu Edgy / evolution 2.8.1 / mail-notification 3.0 / mail-notification-evolution 3.0).

I'd be willing to poke around with this if someone can give me a pointer or two on where to look or how to proceed.

I don't have an exchange server for testing this. All I can do is commit a patch if someone provides one.

Version 4.0rc1 in Ubuntu 6.10

Here are steps:
1. Setup Evolution to connect with exchange server. And don't select "Remember this password" when input password. So that every time Evolution starts, exchange password need to be input.
2. Setup MN to check an exchange server's folder in Evolution.
3. Everything works fine.
4. Close the evolution and restart it.
5. When the exhange login screen is popup, the evolution will hang up. Now the only way to start Evolution is first kill the NM.
6. If disable NM-plugin, the Evolution can startup successfully.

Thanks
