You might try reinstalling evolution:
1. Shut down evolution if it is running:
$ ps -e |grep evolution
... ? 00:00:00 evolution-alarm
.... ? 00:00:06 evolution
In this case it's running, otherwise I would have seen:
$ ps -e |grep evolution
.... ? 00:00:00 evolution-alarm
So let's shut it down (do this from the command line rather than just
closing Evo from the gui:
$ evolution --force-shutdown
Evolution process exited normally
2. Now backup your configuration folder:
$ cp -R ~/.evolution ~/.evolution_backup
3. Now reinstall:
$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall evolution
4. Restart & try Evo.
If that doesn't resolve the issue, you could try moving the ~./evolution
folder out of the way to see if it's something in the folder/profile
that is creating the problem & I can give you instructions on how to do
that safely. But first first try the above.
