The problem was linked to a problem in package gnome-keyring.
I solved my problem by downgrading gnome-keyring from 2.30.1-0ubuntu2
to 2.30.0-0ubuntu3.
Downgrading gnome-keyring also solved some problems with network-manager
(also freezing) and empathy (unaccessible accounts).
As far as I am
it's still an issue but closing this one since similar bugs are open on
gnome-keyring, do you use a password-less login?

Thank you for your message.
Here is the backtace.
It is the first time I am recording this so I'm not sure it contains all that
you need to understand the bug.
What I did while recording the bakctrace was:
-Click on new message
-The new message window appears instantly
-Wait for 30s whiie I
it says the program exited normally, could you tr y the following?:
reproduce the problem with evolution, make the ui to enter the freeze
state, look for the program PID with ps , and pass that PID to gdb with
the following command: gdb evolution PID . gdb will show you an
stacktrace after that,
In fact, everyhting comes back to normal after the 30s freeze.
So I exited evolution after the 30s freeze so that gdb will close as well.
I will try your suggestion.

Here is the new file.
I ran the command attach 7817 during the freeze and did nothing after the
freeze ended.
