Sounds like there is a good possibility that it could be a file system
permissions issue. Try doing:

cp -a $evo_dir ${evo_dir}.BAK # in case it doesn't work
$evo_dir="~/evolution"
chown -R $USER:$USER $evo_dir
chmod -R u+rw $evo_dir

You may need to do the above as root.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Unfortunatly the error persists.

(evolution:7236): evolution-shell-WARNING **: CORBA exception
IDL:GNOME/Evolution/Shell/NotReady:1.0 when requesting URI --
evolution:/summary

I wonder if it is some permissions issue in a glib file because when I
run
evolution -v (as root) I get:

[root@localhost zan]# evolution -v

(evolution:5376): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session
manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols
specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
(Killing old version of Wombat...)
calendar-gui-Message: launch_alarm_daemon_cb(): Could not activate the
alarm notification service

(evolution:5376): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gsignal.c:2010: instance
`0x9351388' has no handler with id `2284'
[root@localhost zan]#

?

and also from the fact that this seemed to start when I force closed
the "evolution is exiting" window.


Unfortunatly, i don't know how to test this.

Thanks for the help so far,
