Andre, Thanks for your answer. I read both bug reports and see the reason why both sides had/have problems. I think the decision to use ~/.evolution was the first problem but the authentication problem - in OOo - is/was IMHO rather fundamental to Unix and one of the reasons I practically never use a single user system (where authentication is irrelevant) nor a crippled multi-user system (like W2000 or XP). My problem is augmented by the fact that neither OOo ( and I thought Evolution also) are 64-bit aware. As I'm using FC4_64 compilation runs often into errors due to the 32-bit character of the source (don't ask me why: I'm not a C-programmer). I will try again to compile the 2.4.0 version and hope I will succeed. Thanks again Joep
