Is there a lock file someplace that needs to be deleted? Or something

Anything in /tmp ?
I had the same problem just yesterday with Sylpheed; it crashed for no
apparent reason (first time I've seen that) and wouldn't load again
until I deleted a file named sylpheed-something-or-other in /tmp
There is a socket in /tmp for evolution. I deleted it but still wasn't
able to restart evo. I logged out, deleted everything in /tmp, and
restarted. After that, it did finally start after I walked away for a
while. I'm not sure if it's the removal of the tmp files or just the wait
that did it though.
It seems that the hang on start happens when I try to use the Exchange
global address book. More research needed, then I'll be back with some
other issues...
