	Hi,
you are still on that kinda old version, are you not? Did your distro
provide an update with the fix for the MH problem?

The best option is to install debuginfo packages for glib2, evolution-
data-server and evolution and grab a backtrace of the process in this
state, to check what it is trying to do. It can even wait for a
response from the server, or it has too many GTask threads, while there
can be only 10 (which can sometime increase the number, but it does not
always work), though that might also mean the cancellation won't
succeed. I mean, hard to tell without more information.

You can get the backtrace with a command like this:

   DEBUGINFOD_URLS='' gdb --batch --ex "t a a bt" --pid=`pidof evolution` &>bt.txt

Please check the bt.txt for any private information, like passwords,
email addresses, server addresses,... I usually search for "pass" at
least (quotes for clarity only), before sharing it anywhere.

	Bye,
