evolution --force-shutdown will kill everything. > > I deleted the direcctory ~/.evolution > and ~/.gconf/apps/evolution Don't mess around with the ~/.gconf directory on the hard disk - it doesn't work and can cause problems. Gconfd works with the in-memory copy as being definitive and occasionally writes a copy of the in-memory entries to the disk - it never reads the disk version except when gconfd starts up. Consequently, any edits you make to ~/.gconf while gconfd is running will be lost the next time gconfd writes things back to the disk. If you want to edit the contents of gconf use either a command line tool (such as gconftool-2) or one of the many gui gconf editors (such as gconf-editor). > I restarted evolution. > And it pops a banner asking me to login into my mail account. > > How did it know I had a gmail account?
