Should work. ;) Well, I came across a similar issue some days ago. You might want to try it. To check if spell checking works at all and the issue is your user settings, create a new user on your machine. Log in as this user and check if that user can spell check. A fake account with no valid server settings should do. Try if you can enable spell checking for that account. The mentioned issue IIRC [1] was some wrong GConf settings. If spell checking works for the test user, try removing (or *moving* for backup purposes) the file ~/.gconf/GNOME/Spell/%gconf.xml Start Evolution after that and try to enable spell checking. HTH ...guenther [1] I am sorry, my memory just seems to be lousy...
