[Evolution] Can't Initialize Shell; But with unusual twist

[Dennis <dj horsescare com>]

I have read quite a few posts and consistent solutions to the error: 
Unable to Initialize Shell. Configuration Database not found.  But I 
have a new twist on the problem.

I have RH 8.0, Mozilla 1.0.1-26, Evolution 1.0.8-11

Evolution works fine for all users but one (my main usage account 
without root privelages).  I removed the account and removed the 
/home/myname folder.  Added a new account myname2 and all worked fine. 
But when I add the account myname a new, it still won't work.  (by the 
way myname2 is using the inbox/calender/outbox/addressbook/etc. of 
myname with out problem.

I can't see where the solutions given apply only to a single non-su user.

Any suggestions or enlightment.

Thanks
