You sent the same message twice. Is that happening often?

Reinstalling the Evolution package from the same source is unlikely to
make any difference. This isn't Windows.

Resetting your config might help, but before doing that I would check
that the servers you use are actually working correctly, e.g. by trying
with some other client such as Thunderbird.
