Comment 24 for bug 246251

I've tried two things that seem to improve the problem.

1. Connect to the repository ppa:lifeless/ppa (https://launchpad.net/~lifeless/+archive/ppa) and upgrade evolution-data-server to version 2.28.1-0ubuntu2.

2. From System/Preferences/Startup Applications uncheck Evolution Alarm Notifier. That prevents evolution-data-server from starting at next boot/login. It will start, along with evolution alarm notifier, when you manually start evolution from the menu.

Not being notifier of events is the trade-off, but I usually start evolution soon after login anyway -- no big deal.

This is less tedious than I mentioned in post #20. (As in #23, you may need to uncheck/check birthdays and anniversaries, or simply refresh the view by scrolling.)
