Windows solution.  Generally doesn't help at all with Evolution.  The
only problem for which this *might* help is file system corruption from
an unclean shutdown, and even then there are techniques (rpm -V) for
checking whether this is really a problem.

Well, the current version is 1.2.4...

That's odd.  To which channels are you subscribed?  My guess is that you
somehow got unsubscribed from the channel(s) that have our Evolution
packages.

No, Red Carpet will only give you 1.2.4 these days.  AFAIK, we don't
know of any regressions in 1.2.4 vs. 1.2.3, so there's no particular
reason to prefer 1.2.3 to 1.2.4.

Well, you can find 1.2.4 source and binary packages on our ftp server.
