Please open a terminal and paste the following command into the terminal and hit enter.

ls -la /home/sysadmin/.evolution/addressbook/local/*

copy and paste the output here.

Then try this:

From a terminal run the following command:

gconftoo-2 --shutdown
evolution --force-shutdown

Then try to restart evolution normally.
If this doesn't work try rebooting.
