I do have Evolution installed, but I've never run it as I regard it as the spawn of the devil! :) I just want to get rid of the file that's recording all the emails and other notifications on the desktop, then I'd die happy! I've just rebooted to test a theory of mine that its related to my desktop settings, so time will tell.
