Well, when you created your account you had to choose a type of account.
What did you choose?  If you don't remember you can use
Edit->Preferences, then choose the "Mail Accounts" tab, your mail
account, Edit, then the Receiving Email tab.

Removing the Evolution package won't delete any of your email or contact
info: that information is kept in your home directory.  Removing
Evolution will just remove the program itself, not your customizations.

You can try removing it and reinstalling it; that might help.

It might also be useful to shut down Evo completely.  Have you rebooted
your system?  If so that would do it.  If not, you can open a terminal
window (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal), then enter:

        evolution --force-shutdown

(note two minus signs in a row before "force"), then try again.
