Nicolas: Can you please prvoide, which a/c you setup ? After which instance it
didn't start ? 
Comment 2 Nicolas Mailhot 2005-05-12 07:27:59 UTC
Basically I returned from a week-long holliday, updated my system to latest
Fedora devel, and evo hasn't started without crashing once since.

It might be It starts on a particular message that causes it to crash, or the
Fedora Devel evolution has problems (though I've seen nothing on Fedora lists or
Red Hat bugzilla)

Setup is evo plugged on local IMAPS server (dovecot)

The server itself is fine - I can access it both in webmail (squirrelmail) &
thunderbird

Adding keyword.
Comment 4 Nicolas Mailhot 2005-05-23 20:08:19 UTC
Traced to a corrupted on-system library (libgnomecanvas)

-> closing

Strange that this corruption only affected evo though
