You should never have to run Evo as root, nor should you ever, ever do
so. If you need to run as root to do something, then it's a
permissions problem. What I suspect is that you have run it as root
and that has created some files with the wrong owner and now it can't
function properly as the user.

As Patrick said, create a new Linux user and configure the account from
that - login to it properly, don't su or sudo or whatever. That will
gibe you confirmation that Evolution is working properly. Then in your
real account you will need to scrub out all the configuration and files
that Evolution has created and start again.

You need to run Evolution from the command line to see any errors that
are being produced - if that doesn't say anything constructive, you
need to run with debugging enabled to see where the problem is.
