Hardly. It is a machine with 8 GB. I think I have seen the message for
other software two and it was never a problem in practice. I think EVO
always showed this, but it worked fine earlier.

It is the only 401. But I have no idea what the problem is here.

I tried, but the processes are relaunched all the time. I tried to move
the cache, but the destination was removed automatically and now EVO
crashes completely as soon as I switch to the calendar view. I will try
once more as instructed below. If also that fails, I will try on a
different account.
