[Evolution] Bug#532196: evolution hangs when displaying mails

Package: evolution
Version: 2.26.2-2
Severity: important


evolution hangs when displaying mails. I can open evolution without any problem, but after some time it often
enough just hangs without me doing anything other than maximizing the windows. I only see the outer bounds of 
the window and some structures, but no mails, no mail contents is visible. The only solution I found is killing 
all evolution related processes and restart evolution. Then everything is back to normal for another try. 
Please tell me how I can debug this situation. I don't know where to look for further info.
