It tells me the whole system regarding evolution-stuff is up to date. I then backed up the ~/.gconf and ~/evolution directories. Rename both the ~/.gconf/mail/evolution subdirectory and ~/evolution. Ran evo. It started up clear, but the accounts were still in there?? Tried creating a signature and things crashed again. What could yet another place be to look at? Does anyone have a clue?

Something bad must have happened somewhere during the time I used Thunderbird, because now, when I try to add a signature to Evolution, it crashes. I have tried the Ximian knowledge base, but that does not help a lot. On the web I found a lot of info on 'gconftool' as follows: gconftool --get /apps/evolution/mail/signatures but as I don't have a directory as mentioned above, I would not know what to put in there. Should that point to the directory where my own signatures are stored? I also found this one: gconftool-2 --set /apps/evolution/mail/signatures --type=list --list-type=string '[]' (which is on 1 line), but that too does not aid in fixing the problem so far. My PC runs MDK 9.1. Thanks for any tips, Paul Why not try something simple; first, whilst in Evo, click TOOLS = SETTINGS = COMPOSER PREFERENCES = SIGNATURES and delete anything that's in there; restart Evo. Go back to the COMPOSER PREFERENCES and try adding a signature again. If that doesn't work, you might want to update/upgrade GTKHTML and the other associated libs; you can use Ximian's Red-Carpet to update Evo and the libs without a hassle/problem.
