It is not the exact same behavior I'm seeing, I get the crashes usually
in the middle of the new message download process the first time I start
evo in the morning. If I let it idle after startup, evo does all the
"storing folder" stuff and eventually dies when getting the new email
(or so I think). 

But you could of course be right and there is some message it is choking
on - it is strange that this is happening to you as well. I think this
first happened to me on Wed Nov 30. 

To tell the truth this does not seem like a -rt related problem except
that it started happening the day I booted into -rt21.

I can get it to start after two or three tries (so far) without touching
anything in evo's files. And then it runs fine. The behavior
_subjectively_ gives me the impression that it is related to downloading
large number of messages, or doing many things at once at startup
(threading).
