I've seen posts over the last several weeks complaining that for
various reasons, evolution-mail has not been working, usually
resulting in a "Configuration Database not found" error.  For me,
Evolution would start, but clicking on the Inbox icon in the shortcut
bar didn't do anything.

Some people have said that it works as root, but not as a regular
user.  I also saw this.

What happened to me was that the evolution RPM file (for RedHat 7.2
anyway - not sure about other distros) isn't explicitly setting
permissions on /usr/lib/evolution/camel-providers/1.0, so this
directory was being created as drwx------ on my system.  Changing the
permissions on this directory to drwxr-xr-x (and the usual killev ;
oaf-slay bit) fixed it for me.

Hope this helps somebody out there.
