Hi Adam I've gone to great lengths (long story) to install an entirely different distro - OpenSuse in this instance - to start all over again, and Evolution is still not decrypting my emails despite asking for my passphrase. I would be enormously grateful for any help you or anyone else can provide. In reply to your message, the output of... ps -ef | grep agent ...finds nothing. Where do I start?
