I think you will need to upgrade, I did it.  The current version 
is 1.01 so to try with o.13 is a bit futile.

[newbie] Evolution Problems

2002-02-06 Thread Rich

I started using Evolution 0.13 that came with the Mandrake 8.1 distro 
and really liked it except that the Reply function was flaky, sometimes 
it worked and sometimes it didn't.  I downloaded a copy of version 1.0 
and couldn't get it to work; the error message was "Cannot initialize 
the Ximian shell: Configuration database not found".  I finally gave up 
and tried to re-install version 0.13, but that now gave the same error.

Taking to heart some of the information on this list, I downloaded Red 
Carpet from Ximian and, after a very long update of the files on my 
machine, I gave Evolution 1.02 a try and, it worked!  I've spent some 
time the past two days getting it set to my likes.

This morning I booted up and clicked on the Evolution icon and up popped 
the same "Cannot initialize the Ximian shell: Configuration database not 
found" error message!

This complain has been on this list and others, so I know that I'm not 
alone with this problem.  Has anyone been able to determine what causes 
the problem, especially after successfully running the program for two 
days, and if there's a fix?
