This confused me. If you removed .evolution you should have lost all
your mails. Even in this case your evolution can't run?

So this doesn't seem to be a Debian packaging issue and the Debian
evolution team doesn't have enough people to investigate upstream bugs
(yet).  Your issue may be better handled if you report it to upstream
as you've done before. Could you please try to catch a backtrace when
the crash happens and search it in upstream bugzilla
(https://bugzilla.gnome.org/) with the backtrace you found? Please
keep me in the loop if you report a new bug upstream.

Thank you.
