The updated backtrace shows where exactly the crash happened, and it's due to the missing path of the URL, for which the code doesn't check. The above quoted part shows the malformed URL, which probably happened during restore from a backup. I do not know whether you restored anything manually or whether it was due to some crash during restore, but there definitely might not be any #EVO_USERDATADIR%23 in there, it might point to your /home/user/.local/share/evolution/. This 'local_mbox' account is created as a backup of the mails before the migration to a maildir format.

[Evolution] Inacceptable TLS certificate
Hello, I use IMAP with 'STARTTLS after connecting' for fetching email in Evolution. After a while, my email provider changed the certificate. This certificate did not correspond to my domain, so I got a warning and a question whether I would like to accept this certificate. Initially, I did not accept it because I wanted to investigate the certificate first. This resulted (obviously) in the fact that I could not get my email any more due to an 'inacceptable TLS certificate'. My question is now: How can I now I trust the certificate accept the certificate, so that I can retrieve my mail again.

Hi, I'm sorry, but where did you get such steps for a restore from a backup? How did you create the backup? The only right way of using Evolution-created backups is to use File-Backup Evolution settings and its counter part, File-Restore Evolution settings pointing to the file which the former menu entry created. There is no way to restore the file manually the way you did it, because of the code doing the replacements in paths and such. There can be done a manual restore of certain parts of the backup file, but it can easily break evolution, just the same as it happened to you. If you break things, then removing ~/.local/share/evolution, ~/.cache/evolution, ~/.config/evolution and GConf path /apps/evolution, or GSettings path /org/gnome/evolution (for newer versions) will help to start from scratch and restore from backup using Evolution itself. You might not have any evolution background processes running when doing the folder cleanup. Also, better to rename folders, than to delete, to not lose your data.

Hi, the upcoming Evolution 3.16.0 will have Edit-Preferences- Certificates-Mail tab, where the Mail-related certificates will be shown, together with their trust setting, which can be changed there. I suppose you run the most recent stable version, like 3.12.11, which doesn't have this feature, thus you might delete ~/.local/share/evolution/camel-cert.db which holds the information about your mail certificates. It'll drop trusts for all mail servers and you'll be forced to re-trust them all again. As I said, Evolution 3.16.0 will have this done better.

Which is how 99% of everyone actually backs up their system. Actual example: Going from a crashed and dead older CentOS 5 system to a brand new Fedora 21. Which magic directories and settings need to be yanked out of the backup images? Without necessarily copying *everything*, because the only things that you want right now are email, not the email plus 200 GB of other junk. With Thunderbird the answer is $HOME/.thunderbird. Suuuper easy. With Evolution getting the email back is fortunately pretty easy.

Those are paths in the respective program. Your version (likely) doesn't use GSettings, I mentioned it only for completeness, thus let's focus on the GConf. After all, as I explained in another email in this thread, there's the problem you have, in the account configuration. You said you'll clean that up, but you probably didn't. Anyway, logout from your window manager, switch to a text console (Ctrl+Alf+F3), login there, then run this command: $ gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/evolution/ Then logout here and switch back to the graphical interface (can be Alt+F1 or Alt+F7 or maybe another Alt+Fx key, it depends on your distribution settings). You should login to evolution with absolutely no account settings, like with the fresh new user. Still crashes. I suppose with the same backtrace, which makes sense, when you didn't cleanup GConf settings.

[Evolution] EWS Cannot resolve hostname
Hi I've configured Evolution to connect to our exchange server with EWS. Versions are: evolution 3.10.4-0ubuntu1 evolution-ews 3.10.2-0ubuntu2 Everything went smoothly with the configuration - the correct URL was found - but when I try to authenticate I get this debugging output: HTTP/1.1 2 Cannot resolve hostname (exchange.our.domain) Soup-Debug-Timestamp: 1424816438 Soup-Debug: ESoapMessage 0 (0x7fccc800d140) /etc/resolv.conf has the correct name servers listed and the hostname resolves with host, nslookup or dig. Adding the exchange servers address to /etc/hosts made no difference. Removing the entry 'mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return]' from /etc/nsswitch.conf also made no difference. The same settings are working fine on Centos 7 with evolution 3.8.5. Any idea why EWS can't resolve the server hostname on Ubuntu 14.04?
