Mathieu, Thanks for your continued interest:
Running with the sync option as suggested evolution flashes up briefly, then immediately closes, before any chance to interact with it, resulting in similar but different errors with each attempt (mostly they don't seem too helpful), see below, but on one occasion I got a more extensive output (at the bottom), not sure if it helps: This is the most common outcome drgrumpy@sjr06x:~$ evolution -c calendar --sync EI: MAIL PREFSevolution: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0. drgrumpy@sjr06x:~$ evolution -c calendar --sync EI: MAIL PREFS*** glibc detected *** evolution: free(): corrupted unsorted chunks: 0x0000000003363c00 *** Segmentation fault drgrumpy@sjr06x:~$ evolution -c calendar --sync EI: MAIL PREFSThe program 'evolution' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadGC (invalid GC parameter)'. (Details: serial 4010 error_code 13 request_code 66 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) drgrumpy@sjr06x:~$ evolution -c calendar --sync EI: MAIL PREFSevolution: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.
