Sorry guys, I spoke too soon :( My thanks to JP & Timo for their input.

Evo runs perfectly when I log in as root, using exactly the same KDE
themes and configurations that I have as user. Now the really weird
thing is, with my normal log in I can start and run Evo perfectly if I
use --component=STRING provided that STRING is anything except mail. I
can then switch to the mail view and perform any mail operations without
any problems.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how I can get Evo back working
normally, without using this ugly workaround.

TIA
Dave
