Hi there,

At OLC I have seen two separate instances of the following error:

> i am having trouble with my email on a newly configured athena linux

One instance was on a ThinkPad T30, and the above instance was on a desktop
PC.  Both occurred after complete clean installs of Athena-Linux.

On a related note, I spoke with a Ximian employee a week ago, and she was
quite surprised that MIT uses version Evolution 1.0 and not the current 1.2.
She seemed to think that most problems we were seeing would go away with
an upgrade.

Thanks,
