My problem began yesterday when I clicked on a new mail message just arrived in Evolution. What I got was a warning: "The application "Evolution" has quit unexpectedly" and the options of "Restart Application", "Close", or "Inform Developers". Restart simply closed Evolution. When I opened Evolution again I got the same warning - and the same result on clicking either Restart or Close. Restarting the PC makes no difference. If I click outside the warning box it freezes the PC. At present I have no access to my mail.
To actually find out what goes wrong here, you can run Evolution in gdb (the Gnome Debugger): $ gdb evolution After that, type "run" and hit the Enter key. When Evolution hangs, hit "Control + C", enter "thread apply all bt" and post the output here or file a new bug in Evolution's bug database at http://bugzilla.gnome.org . As this likely is data or settings related, it is a particular component only. To check this, start Evo with a component explicitely set, rather than picking up the last used one (mailer, presumably): $ evolution -c tasks will start Evo with the Tasks component. Does it still crash? See 'evolution --help' for other options. If it is the Mailer component crashing, a common cause is a particular mail that crashes while being rendered. To prevent rendering of the mail, you can disable the preview pane and set the message display to 'source', which will display the raw message. Disable the preview pane: $ gconftool-2 --set /apps/evolution/mail/display/show_preview --type bool 0 Display the raw source message: $ gconftool-2 --set /apps/evolution/mail/display/message_style --type int 2 cheers, andre -- mailto:ak-47 gmx net | failed! http://www.iomc.de
