Hi Peter,

I had no issues with evolution after the upgrade to natty, except the
setup wizard has some issues displaying text.

I personally prefer thunderbird myself as a desktop email client,
however to start solving your evolution problem, my first suggestion
would be to run it with debugging and disabling any plugins:

>From a terminal:

evolution --debug=output.txt --disable-eplugin

Have a look at the output.txt file and see if there is anything useful
in there.  There may not be.

The other option is a full stack trace:

strace evolution

And see at what point it stops, you may want to paste the last 20 or so
lines here if you need someone to translate them for you :)

cheers,
jared
