Then try again. Something that may also help is to do evolution --component=mail Sometimes when it gets confused on Task, addressbook or Calendar modes, forcing a start in mail mode allows you to recover. Good luck.

I have not yet had a chance to reboot, but I have noticed some evolution process running in the background - mkenny 30998 1 0 15:36 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/evolution/evolution-dat a-server-1.4 --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_DataServer_InterfaceCheck --oaf-ior-fd=53 mkenny 31010 1 0 15:36 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/evolution/2.4/evolution -alarm-notify --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Calendar_AlarmNotify_Fac tory:2.4 --oaf-ior-fd=57 killing these and restarting still fails. evolution --force-shutdown also fails. Executing from the command line outputs - adding hook target 'source' (evolution-2.4:31103): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_gc_set_foreground: assertion `GDK_IS_GC (gc)' failed None of which means anything to me. If you can help, I would really appreciate it.

But intermittently my evolution also used to die. Does it work if you reboot? If so, "evolution --force-shutdown" from a terminal kills all the component processes of evolution and allows a restart of the app. If it's more complicated than this, we'd need you to run evolution from the command line and report any errors to hope to get a clue on the problem.

As my employer is predominantly a M$ shop I must intereact with Exchange so I have been using evolution 2.4.1 as as supplied with Ubuntu as my mail client and groupware agent. This morning when I tried to start up evolution I receive an error box informing me that 'The Application "evolution-exchange-storage" has quit unexpectedly.' and I am unable to continue. i.e. evolution starts but I can't access any functionality that requires this connector. Has anyone else encounter this problem? Did you manage to discover the cause? And the solution? As an aside I tried to follow the link to report the problem to the developers, but a) this didn't provide an option to report against the exchange connector and b) it only allowed for version up to 1.5.9 of evolution. Is this facility still in use?
