I placed the command in rc.local but not effect on the shell by wich I start evolution. And also after the command on the shell, in another shell the limit is still 1024. > I agree with another poster further down (Gilboa Davara): there's no way > Evolution needs that many files.

I think that problem is fixed on newer version of evolution, but no hope to have it on fedora core 5, even if the new release is available from a long time. I will install fedora core 6 when I will be sure that upgrade works ok for me. I can't stay without working PC for a long time. Tnx Ambrogio
