I am adding the Evolution logs, as soon as you tell me where to look for them. There seems to be no entry in /var/log -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Dont remember who/when though. *sigh* Akhil: can you try to reproduce here? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

As far as I can see my adressbooks are still there, also my email account, my folders are gone, as well as my rules, not sure about calendar items as I haven't used them so far. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

The problem seems to be gone.

After having read a lot of piled up email and creating some rules for archiving them, I switched to "Contacts" from "Mail" in the left pane. It now keeps recurring again on every start of Evolution. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

It went away on removing all evolution content from /home/user. I can not reproduce it now myself, because I didn't backup the old files. It should recur when users start upgrading existing installations ( 10.2 etc ) to 10.3 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
