[Evolution] 3 questions

[Dinbandhu <dinbandhu sprynet com>]

I have three questions regarding the evolution application:

1. How do I create a mailing list?

Let's say I have 20 e-mail addresses which I mail to regularly. And I
want to collect them all together under the name "ink-suppliers". So
every time I want to communicate with my ink suppliers, all I have to do
is click on "ink-suppliers", and the letter I am writing will be
addressed to all 20 ink-suppliers.

2. Why is all my incoming mail duplicated in the trash?

If I go to my trash bin in evolution, all the letters I have received
since I started using evolution three weeks ago, are there in the trash.
They are also located where I put them, in various folders. But there is
an identical copy in the trash (which I did not put there). So I am
afraid to empty the trash, for fear all my incoming mail I've received,
will be deleted.


3. Why have all the icons changed to "x"?

In evolution, all the various options on the toolbar i.e.
"send/receive", "reply to all", "forward", "delete", "junk", have a an
icon above them. One day all these icons came to appear as a piece of
paper with a red x in the middle. I think it may have happened when the
computer froze one day and I had to power the computer down with
evolution still open. Ever since then, it has been like this. And not
only those icons, also the "inbox", "outbox", "sent", as well as the
"mail", "contacts", "calendars", "memos", and "tasks". 

Any ideas as to how to correct this? Will I have to re-install the
program? If so, how do I do that without losing all my data?
