A former evolution usage in combination with a unsuccessful migration from an older Ubuntu system. Must have been when they started this Unity thing that I disliked.
The data came out of an installation around 3.1, the restauration failed in 3.2.3, as I remember. So, changes in file systems are not likely to be the issue. I fetched it from my backup and this is IMHO not likely to be corrupted either. As I wrote on June 8th 2013 18:26 in http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/evolution-startet-nach-backup-nicht-mehr/: > gconftool --load=$HOME/.local/share/evolution/backup-restore-gconf.xml on the newly installed Linux Mint didn't work. Don't know whether the backup was corrupted anyway or some process didn't work out - just beats me. No help on the forums was available, and I needed to use the system for daily tasks. So I gave up and went to use Thunderbird on that same system. As I print out more important eMails, there wasn't too much lost. Now I suspect that the current problems result out of artefacts of the failed restauration. > I recommend the following steps: > > First, create a new temporary user account on your system, log in as > that account, and try to start Evolution.

Yes, this seems confirmed now. Anyway, there is something very wrong about it. Where do I find a complete list of places to clean up?
