Hi Andre, thanks for the reply.

Sorry I meant .evolution folder (not file)

I have the alternate folder location as noted in the reference you gave
it is:

$HOME/.local/share/evolution has 773 items, totalling 783.7 MB.

$HOME/.config/evolution has 56 items, totalling 56.8 KB

$HOME/.gconf/apps/evolution is 59 items, totalling 133.7 KB

Not sure if this is good or not, they are non-zero which seems good, but
my inbox and folders were many thousands of emails so the size seems too
small. And still evolution does not start except to wizard new user
screen. From the command line I get:

evolutionjenny t61p:~$ evolution

and debug is the same

What I don't understand is that I ran out of disk space, evolution was
not running but is corrupt/missing, why would the files be
lost/over-written and why I now have 50Gib free and the only thing
apparently missing is evolution. I would have expected the computer to
stop but not overwrite data??
