Evolution freezes on start after long time of not starting it

Hi,

so having a weird issue with Evolution where, after not having started it for a couple months now and a system re-installation it freezes on startup with a message asking if I want it as my main E-Mail client. I'm unable to click anything in this message and eventually the window title changes to "not responding". I tried starting it via terminal with

CAMEL_DEBUG=pop3 evolution

and all I get is a few warnings

(org.gnome.Evolution:118475): libenchant-WARNING **: 05:01:51.493: broker.vala:156: Error loading plugin: libaspell.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

(org.gnome.Evolution:118475): libenchant-WARNING **: 05:01:51.493: broker.vala:156: Error loading plugin: libnuspell.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I've restarted my PC a few times and verified that it is up-to-date.

Re: Evolution freezes on start after long time of not starting it

Removed the evolution folders in .config and .local/share and .cache and then launched Evolution and restored everything from a backup. Works now without freezing.
