Evolution Mail is not without its downsides. I often experience slowdown, sluggish performance, freezing altogether. When performance degrades, can't download the message for example, I often check memory usage of goa-daemon. I often kill this process and restart evolution.
$ps aux | grep goa ##to monitor the process goa-daemon
$ps -A --sort -rss -o comm,pid,pmem | head -n 10 ##to list top 10 memory processes
Use the kill {pid} command to stop the process. Use the above commands to analyze goa-daemon and top memory usage.
