Yup, exact same thing here. I use evo to access my work mail with IMAPS. 
Sending usually works right after evo starts, but eventually it'll stop 
working. Reading mail still work, but trying to close the app causes it 
to hang. Some sort of network connection timeout not being handled 
right. It's also a FC-6 regression for me, FC-5 had no problems.
