Have you already tried to reinstall evolution purging settings...

Please save your relevant data before do this...

Using terminal type or better copy and paste into the terminal the rows below, copy a row a time, then press enter:

rm -fr .evolution

sudo apt-get purge evolution

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install evolution

Thank you

May i suggest you to try with Thunderbird as mail client

Thunderbird: mail/news client with RSS and integrated spam filter support
 Thunderbird is a lightweight mail/news/RSS client, based on the Mozilla suite.
 It supports different mail accounts (POP, IMAP, Gmail), has an integrated learning Spam filter, and offers easy organization of mails with tagging and virtual folders. Also, more features can be added by installing extensions.

To install Thunderbird simply search select and add it to your system using the System→Add/remove menu item

To install Thunderbird using terminal

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:
(if the system ask you a password give your user password, you will not see nothing when you type it, then press enter)

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install thunderbird

You will find Thunderbird into Applications→Internet menu

Hope this helps

I tried the following

rm -fr .evolution

sudo apt-get purge evolution

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install evolution

However, it did not make any difference.
Still no images

Also installed Thunderbird which works fine

Thanks much
