yep, yep :-)

Seems to be a remaining issue from the 1.3.3 beta version. Does that
solve this issue?

The slider in the Calendar view just is set wrong, the Tasks take up all
the space. Just move the pane divider from the left and you will get
your calendar back.

For me, only the contact list was reset to default values. After I
deleted all unwanted Categories (actually, all of them ;-) and
re-created my custom ones, all Contacts magically had their according
Category assigned back.

Do you say, deleting a mail does not proceed to the next mail? Does for
me, as it always did.

To go to the next unread mail, just type '.' (for previous ','). For me,
both (,. and []) works.


caveat: Mandrake 9.1, Evolution 1.3.92 (Ximian), so YMMV
