This is strange. None of those seem to give any clues or results. I'm wondering if, because this is a *broken* installation, stuff has been missed off. I know it said - whilst installing from CDs - *can't find ???* I just clicked on *ignor* and continued on. That's why I want to do a complete new installation. I have bit the bullet and purchased Suse 9.3 prof. It'll be here tomorrow.
It may be worth trying cd .evolution from your home dir, as on my copy of ubuntu Evolution's folder does not have the uppercase E
Also just in case this is not clear Peter, the proceeding . in the directory name means that this directory is hidden.
If that doesn't work then you could try this as a long shot.
With Evolution running open a terminal window and try the following command
lsof | grep Inbox or perhaps mail
Just to explain that command, lsof lists open files (which if run on it's own will scroll on for a while) so we use the | to pipe the output through grep which searches for the pattern Inbox. It is good practice to usually put the search string in quotes as this protects it from the shell, but in this case we don't need to.
