The problem I have with the above post is that we do not know what 
hardware is being used or how apps are installed and configured.
Fedora 17 is still very new and is almost guaranteed to have bugs, 
faults, clangers, difficulties, etc. It comes with the territory of 
cutting edge software.
I have used Firefox, Thunderbird, Epiphany, Chromium and others with no 
problems in both Ubuntu and Fedora versions for years with no ill 
effect.  I tried Evolution years ago but not since.
I may fresh install Fedora 18 when the time comes.

May I suggest that if apps have bugs simply try some other similar app. 
Or possibly go back to Fedora 16 which is more stable.

Or simply wait and the problem will be resolved.
