Re: [Evolution] Signature & default folder settings not being saved

[Nick Galea <nickg 2x com>]

Thanks for the tips.

I checked that the Gconf deamon is running and that the file permissions
to .evolution and .gconf are OK. I would assume if there was a problem
like this, other settings would not be saved either. I can create
additional accounts, no problem. Its just that these particular settings
are not stored.

How does one update to 2.03? It does not appear in the Red Hat updates
tool...
