great suggestion. running evolution from the terminal showed two errors: evolution-shell-WARNING **: Error setting owner on component OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Mail_ShellComponent, -- CORBA error
evolution-shell-WARNING **: Error changing interactive status of component OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Mail_ShellComponent to TRUE -- IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE i typed this into Google and found a page at http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/evolution/2001-December/015644.html which recommended changing the file permissions on the 1.2 folder >cd /usr/lib/evolution/camel-providers >[i used => cd /opt/gnome/lib/evolution/] >chmod go+rx 1.0 >[i used -> chmod go+rx 1.2] >killev; oaf-slay >evolution still didn't work. then i found a 2nd suggestion on the same google page http://lists.helixcode.com/archives/public/evolution/2001-December.txt which recommended removing the "/tmp/orbit*" files. i did and now...i get a "Fatal Applicaiton Error - could not start "evolution-mail".
