In addition, the behaviour mentioned above leads to the following
problem: 
(1) I ssh into my computer (dormitory) and run evolution displaying it
through some X server at the university. 
(2) Back in the dormitory, I run evolution again - but evolution-mail
etc is still trying to access the remove X server. 
I always have to start oafd again in order to be able to run evolution.

Above suggestion would fix this, too.
