Comment 16 for bug 85159

I had the same problem, when i was in feisty, I recently moved my laptop to gutsy and the issue as far as i can see is gone, but i don't recommend gutsy as it has bugs and may have more different issues.

But for feisty what i did was:
the crash happens on html e-mails.
If you can get in evolution, and it crashes after only a second into it. reload it again but for this one second try to change your folder from inbox to "anything else"
My always crashed again, but then i reloaded evolution again and went into my preferences and unchecked my html settings so that they were off.

After that I was able to use evolution but no html. I always crashed on some emails.

Anyways I hope you understand my quick fix. let me know
