Re: [Evolution] Uninstalling Evolution

I got your response just minutes after I solved the problem by guessing.

There is a file and a directory of the same name.  first I found the 
file and moved it to trash (just to be safe).  Then I found the 
directory.  Guessing, I decided the directory was more important than 
the tiny file, so I deleted the file from trash so that I could move 
the directory and its contents there.

Overkill in hindsight.

jpiolt/pilot-link kept giving me this error about the username being 
garbage, which was confusing.  to diagnose that problem, I ran 
install-user from the command line.  Though it would not work, the Palm 
went into sync mode which it normally doesn't do unless there is a sync 
daemon active.  I guessed that even though I had removed the daemon 
from my hard drive, it was still running in memory.  Not knowing the 
name, I restarted X.  Sure enough it worked.  No phantom user name and 
the sync worked fine.  Next, I saw your mail and you confirmed the 
daemon in memory.

Thanks for your excellent help.  Now I can go back to using jpilot for 
PIM and Evolution for an email client (MUA) when in gnome (and 
jpilot/kmail while in kde).
