Looks like this has not been commented on in a few days, but I am still experiencing the problem.
My issue, however, is only with the email setting. I uninstalled Evolution to see if that would help, but now I just don't have anything associated with the email setting in Preferred Applications. I have Gnome-Gmail installed as well as Desktop Webmail and neither of them show up. All of the other settings (Browser, Multimedia, Terminal, etc.) allow you to choose other options, but Email does not. What other information would I be able to post to help find out where the problem is?
