I did this.

I did this.

I did this, but I did not need to go through the email setup. (More on
this below.)

No success. The program still crashed/exited as it did before.

More on step 3. I deleted the .evolution folder and restarted evolution. The .evolution folder (and subfolders) reappeared in the home directory.
I did this a couple of times and the folder reappeared each time.
Shouldn't there be some sort of wizard guiding me through the email
setup?

I tried removing evolution via aptitude (and also synaptic) and
reinstalling it via aptitude (and also synaptic). After each removal, I
deleted the .evolution folder. And after each installation
the .evolution folders were back in the home directory. And starting up
evolution did not require setting up the email.
And attempts to print were met with the program crashing/exiting.

I don't know if this will be of use or not, but when I first had the
problem with evolution in wubi, I had also been playing with karmic in
virtualbox (version 3.1.2). Evolution in that installation had the same
printing problem.

Thanks again for all your help NoOp. I think I'll let this problem rest.
