I did get evolution to the point where it wasn't crashing every time I started it, but instead crashes every time I search if message body or full message is selected. ..in a very ugly turn of events, deleting all my locally-held mail 'fixed' the problem.
Anyways, I tried these two things to get it to start without crashing immediately: * remove your account from online accounts (or deselect mail) * start in offline mode, and remove any active searches from the search bar evolution --offline Also, though it is by far more drastic, you can try removing (in order of least to most drastic): >From your home directory: rm -Rf .cache/evolution ***!!!This will delete mail and other evolution data!!!*** rm -Rf .local/share/evolution -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1166447 Title: evolution crashes on startup after upgrade to 13.04 Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: If I start evolution, it stays open for about a second, notifies me of new messages, then crashes.
