killev? Evolution 1.2.x?

Just a really wild guess, but maybe some Gnome related demons crashed
(like gconfd, which is Evo 1.4.x only)? Have you tried logging out,
cleaning /tmp/ and probably restarting the machine?

I suppose, there is no NFS involved?

Also, you did not mention the Evolution version (well, at least I don't
know, which version RH9 ships).

If nothing else works, you should be able to set the account up again
and have all your Mail, etc. still there. I recommend backing up your
entire ~/evolution/ directory, though. HTH
