Evolution weirdness

[txHarleyMan]

Hello all,

My wife uses Evolution as her email client. She tells me whenever she opens it, it will open and then immediately close on it's own. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 attempts for it to remain open.
Any ideas what is causing this?

I use Thunderbird and have never had any issues with it.

BTW - We're running Kubuntu Feisy Fawn.

Thank you.

Try starting it from Konsole, as it will show any errors that occured.

Thank you, musta. I will do that when I get home this evening. Would I type
kdesu evolution?

No. Just "evolution". Avoid root privileges if possible.

Well, the error message was: "Segmentation Fault ( Core Dumped ) "

I reinstalled Evolution from Synaptic and Uninstalled the Evolution-Plugins from same. So far seems to be OK, but takes quite a while for emails to come down from the server. We'll just monitor it for now I suppose. Thank you!
