Well, I have seen it locked up for several hours before, so I wouldn't think that it would be a re-indexing issue. Is there anything that I can do to determine if this is the case?
Yes. Run evolution in gdb (in a terminal, "gdb evolution" then at the (gdb) prompt, "r"). When it hangs, go back to the gdb session and hit ctrl-c. Then type "thread apply all bt", then attach that output to a bug report on bugzilla.ximian.com.
This will show where in the code it is hanging.
You might want to do an "export CAMEL_DEBUG=all" before you run gdb too. If you do that, it will print out all of the server dialogue - you may want to scrub the output of any sensitive information if you do that.
Yeah compiling is difficult. I'm surprised there's not something newer than 2.0.2 for fc3 somewhere.> 2.0.2 has a lot of bugs though, try 2.0.3 or 2.0.4 at least. I had tried upgrading my version, but I couldn't find the RPMs for FC3, the link to Red Carpet on the Evolution project page (at gnome.org) gives a 404 error to Novell and the installer program that I found couldn't determine my OS. So I tried compiling it from scratch, but that didn't work very well for me (resolving dependencies, etc.). So for now I am stuck on this version.
