Re: [Evolution] Uninstalling Evolution

["Arthur S. Alexion" <arthur alexion com>]

Mark and Eric,

Thanks for the help.  I followed a combination of your advices.  I 
followed Eric's advice to let Red Carpet do the uninstall.  (Easy once 
you figure it out, but not very intuitive to find.)  And I followed 
Mark's advice to uninstall pilot-link.ximian and gnome-pilot (couldn't 
find evolution-pilot in Red Carpet).

Doing so allowed me to reinstall j-pilot and the non-ximian pilot-link, 
and allowing me to use Evolution as an MUA with jpilot as my PIM, but I 
still have a problem.  It may be related to evolution-pilot, but I 
don't think so.

As hoped, neither the Evolution install, nor the partial uninstall, 
affected the configuration files in my home directory.  Jpilot displays 
my palm data from the last sync and other preferences.   That's the 
good news.  The bad news is that some of the evolution syncing 
configuration files also remain, preventing me from doing a sync.  You 
see jpilot/pilot-link are trying to use the now removed evolution 
conduits instead of their own.

Can either of you (or anyone else on the list) help me with finding and 
repairing this configuration setting?

Thanks for the continuing help.
