[Bug 662869] Re: Evolution starts as if it was the first time (with settings wizard)

[C de-Avillez]

Thank you for opening this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. Although
bug 327503 is a slightly different scenario, it sounds plausible that
something similar may have happened here (running out of disk space
*may* cause unexpected problems -- it all depends on what was being
tried to be written to disc at the point of failure, or shortly after).

Now, it is interesting that you get the the setup wizard when you start.
This suggests that ~/.gconf/apps/evolution is partially, or totally,
corrupted. Of special interest would be the file
~/.gconf/apps/evolution/%gconf.xml -- this is where the accounts reside.

You should be able to browse this file via any editor. Look for lines
starting with "&lt;account name=&quot;" (<account name=") -- these
should be the accounts you have set up (or had...).

Not sure what can be done here. We will go from there. But, a probable
good option is to save the current '%gconf.xml', and simply recreate the
account data.
