Correct and that's the reason why the OP would do himself a favour when running Evolution by the user, at least for test purpose, to see if the issue goes away ;). _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
