I have been using Ubuntu for several years. I have been running 9.04
64-bit (gnome) using LVM on an AMD (HP dv6258se) since it came out in
April. Recently, within the last week I believe, the email application
Evolution (v 2.26.1) will start automatically each time I boot or reboot
Ubuntu. I use Thunderbird as my email client of choice. I also use gmail
for my email needs and have set it up for POP so that Thunderbird can
read and write email from my gmail account.
The problem now is because Evolution decided to start automatically, it
captured my new gmail mail and now I am missing mail in Thunderbird
because gmail thinks the new mail has already been processed (which it
has because Evolution grabbed it). I don't want to uninstall Evolution
because I may want to convert to it in the future. I have now disabled
the gmail account within Evolution to prevent it from grabbing my email
but this still doesn't prevent it from starting automatically after a
reboot. As I said, this is a new issue within the last 1-2 weeks that I
never had for the 3+ years I have been using Ubuntu.
I have checked System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications and do NOT
find Evolution listed. I also cannot find an Evolution preference that
says to start automatically.
I expect Evolution (v 2.26.1) to open ONLY when I click on it, NOT
automatically like it is now doing.
