As you are using Evolution 1.2.4 apparently, have you tried closing Evolution and running killev to completely force Evo and all its background tasks to quit? # killev FYI: For 1.3 (beta), current 1.4RC1 (aka 1.3.92) and all forthcoming Evolution versions this is: # evolution-1.3 --force-shutdown (The '-1.3' part will only be temporarily of course...) Maybe you should try removing stale /tmp/*jack* files and directories. jack sure is meant to be your user name. > An additional frustration is that Ximian's made it very difficult to > report problems on their site; having bought the Ximian Connector which > a) doesn't work and b) started this whole mess (uninstallled with no > effect), I'd think that I could at least get a login to ask questions on > their support site. I'd think wrong. I really don't suspect Connector to start those problems, as long as that account is not related to the MS server... Reporting bugs is easy, assuming you are used to bugzilla: http://bugzilla.ximian.com/ You can ask a lot of knowledgeable folks on the Evolution mailing list: http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution Maybe you wanna give the 1.4RC1 a try (1.3.92) with Gnome 2 integration. Works really stable for me since previous beta versions. (Beware: I'm not sure, if Connector works with 1.3.x versions again. Previous versions were not yet supported.) You can get Evolution 1.3.92 via Red Carpet (easy download, subscribe to Evolution beta channel). Grab Red Carpet from: http://ximian.com/products/redcarpet/ Red Carpet direct download, just install red-carpet-* and rcd-* from http://www-files.ximian.com/red-carpet/mandrake-91-i586/ or grab all desired Evolution 1.3.92 packages from ftp://ftp.ximian.com/pub/ximian-evolution-beta/mandrake-91-i586/ (make sure to grab the libgnomecanvas RPM, as they fix dnd bugs).
