you should use the 'killev' command to kill evolution, it will also exit some other background processes, like wombat - used for calendar.
the only thing that i can imagine is that you are using imap and your server is too slow. i had that yesterday, and it was a real pain in the ass. if you want to know what the mail process is doing open a terminal and set the variable 'CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG=1' and from the same terminal start evolution-mail process. then open a new terminal and start evolution . then you will see what the evolution mail component is doing right now. hope this helps. regards.
