I just had this problem on 10.04 LTS. The workaround for me, from reading previous comments, was:
* Launch Evolution (freezes) * Kill evolution-alarm-notify (continues to load normally) * FIle -> Backup Settings... (Follow the procedure) "saving the backup causes Evolution to somehow clean up its indices, which solves the problem " Regards, -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365461 Title: Evolution hang on startup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/365461/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
