Well I don't know where to take it from here. Maybe someone else can help now that you've given more information. Did you a do an oaf-slay after removing the /tmp files?
There's a shell setting, I believe you do "export CAMEL_DEBUG_VERBOSE=1" and then run evolution-mail in a terminal. It will tell you more information. When you do this you should run evolution-mail FIRST, when no other Evo parts are running, and THEN run evolution.
