The only similar symptoms I have suffered is when using an LDAP directory for the address book. At times the LDAP component of evolution "crashes" which requires a restart of evolution (there may be other ways to re-enable it but I don't know how). On restarting evolution all is okay (till the next crash of course). However, like I said this does not seem to be the same thing as you. Doug
