Thank you. I hadn't gone into that part of preferences for a long time, years, and had never seen the options before or I would have tried them. I had to use base to get wireless to work. If I start evolution from a bash prompt it still throws the error but at least it works. It was set to default, whatever that is in Devuan using XFCE4.
I really appreciate your help.
