Toby,

It sounds like Evolution is seeing these start-ups as the first since
installation and so is nagging you for email-account info. After all,
why would *anyone* install Evolution and *not* want to use it for
email!?  ;-)  One possible solution: Make Evolution happy; give it your
account information. Then, go into Edit=>Preferences=>Mail accounts and
disable the accounts you set up. That might do it...
