Vlatka,

I have some suggestions for you.

First, never submit an E-mail to anyone, and especially to a mailing list
without a subject that is a good description of your problem. Most experts will
have their mail filters set up to direct a subject-less message directly to the
spam bucket. I think I need to do that too.

Second, you give no information that would let anyone help you. "It just stopped
working" does no good. Knowing what changed is critical. If the kernel changed
when it stopped, then this list might be the right place to ask. If something
was updated by the distro, then get your help there as very few of us would know
how evolution works. if nothing changed, then your settings just got corrupted,
and you definitely need to contact the support at evolution.

If you think that it is a kernel or driver problem, then you absolutely must
state what hardware you have, what driver it uses, and the PCI or USB ID that
describes it. You also need to state what kernel works, and what version fails.
