I think this would be a duplicate of bug 271894, a bug I filed regarding
Evolution being unable to filter messages and hanging after suspend.
Strace makes it look like it's some sort of socket error, but I can't
quite figure out how to give the requested backtrace when it doesn't
crash and doesn't spit out *any* output at all after I type "continue".
