Hello Dennis Your description makes me think that rather than evolution, the crashing program may actually be xorg (the X server). When the X server crashes, all graphical applications will close as well, including evolution and your desktop. It would then respawn and let you log in again, thus the conclusion that you have been logged-out. I don't know why your xorg would be crashing (a faulty update? issues with the hardware/drivers?). You should be able to find on dmesg some lines pointing to the program that failed.
