Evolution has stopped opening

Asked by Mary Matthews

I have only just (yesterday) installed Ubutu. I was using my e-mail OK earlier today, installing contacts in my address book, clearing old mails etc, but now Evolution won't open at all. I can still access e-mail via the web mail page of blueyonder. HELP!!

Try opening from a terminal like this to see if you get any error messages:-

Applications --> Accessories --> Terminal, then type "evolution" (without the quotes) and press enter. See if Evolution starts, if it doesn't it might report an error in the terminal which you could copy/paste here for us to study.

Many thenks, but it opened just as suddenly as it had refused to do so!!
Seems odd to me, I'll keep your tip in reserve.
