I think I have a similar problem. It started on 24-JAN-2019 I think. When I return to my PC after a while I hit Escape to get rid of the shield as normal (I don't have a password lock) and return to my desktop but with all my previous running applications missing. The left hand bar is present and

John in #130 after reboot, the same garbled black and white boot splash, but the 3D desktop works. However the consoles (Ctrl+Alt+F1 etc) still do not work. You just get a blank screen, and returning via Ctrl+Alt+F7 gives a totally corrupted screen. Did you try the instructions I copied in

I believe my error was down to an IMAP server problem. I thing resetting the password was just a way to encourage Evolution to re-try the connection. I'd recommend anyone encountering this error to try the connection with Thunderbird which can present a more informative message. In my case it was
