Evolution fails to ask for password giving total freeze

[John Austin]

Hi

Hoping someone can help - my main app is failing!

Following a recent update evolution no longer functions

An error is given in orange window

"Error while performing operation
IMAP command failed: Please login first"

This is normal, however no Popup Window is given to permit login

Evo is then frozen

On a second machine that I have not updated today evo is fine, the popup
appears
(This is using the same system login and mail account, ldap and NFS4)
ie same home directory and hence the same ~/.config/evolution directory

yum update on the working machine shows that it wants to update the rpms
listed below - needless to say I haven't installed the updates on this
machine

It's not the kernel as I booted from the previous kernel on the
failing machine and it still fails

Any thoughts as to which of the following is the culprit ?

Has anyone else the same problem ?

Thanks

John
