I have tried to do a GDB backtrace of the problem, following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace. Funny thing: Evo won't crash when sending e-mails or accessing Edit / Preferences when attached to GDB. Well, I'm a newbie, probably that is supposed to happen. See below how it went. I also attached the entire backtrace. ---x cut here-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- effenberg@effenberg-mobile:~$ pidof evolution 19138 effenberg@effenberg-mobile:~$ gdb 2>&1 | tee gdb-evolution.txt GNU gdb 6.7.1-debian Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
