The main menu items Help -> Contents (or F1) DOES NOT WORK!!! It does nothing at all... Distribution: Ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy) Gnome Release: 2.20.1 2007-10-19 (Ubuntu) BugBuddy Version: 2.18.1
Works fine for me on Evolution 2.20. Try running Evolution from a terminal and paste any help-related warnings you see. Also indicate what version of Yelp you have installed.
Evolution version is 2.12.1 Yelp is version 2.20.0 There are no help related warnings when run from a terminal but I'll paste what I get anyway. scot@doubu:~$ evolution /usr/share/themes/LegacyHuman/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:55: Clearlooks configuration option "sunkenmenu" is not supported and will be ignored. /usr/share/themes/LegacyHuman/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:56: Clearlooks configuration option "menuitemstyle" is not supported and will be ignored. /usr/share/themes/LegacyHuman/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:57: Clearlooks configuration option "listviewitemstyle" is not supported and will be ignored.

This has been fixed for ages, please complain to Ubuntu instead of GNOME for not backporting patches. Ubuntu deliberately holds back bug fixes out of fear that the fix may introduce new bugs. if you want to see this bug fixed in Ubuntu please complain to Ubuntu at https://bugs.launchpad.net instead. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 386503 ***
