If you run the "evolution" command from the command line [gnome-terminal] you may see text error messages upon the uninitiated exit, they may be illuminating as to the reason. But I did see such behavior *rarely* in some versions of 3.6.x This is generally true for UNIX apps; run them from the command line to see stdout/stderr messags if you feel that something is amiss. > Evo 3.6.2 is what my Software > Manager fetched when I selected to install Evolution.

For openSUSE, for example, there are repositories one can subscribe[via zypper] and update to for the 'latest' versions of software. That means someone has to package it - but for mainstream software like GNOME that is almost certainly being done by someone. <http://dominique.leuenberger.net/blog/2013/04/gnome-3-8-for-opensuse-12-3-go-get-it/> So it will depend on what distribution you are using, and will probably only be available to sit on top of the latest release of that distro. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
