Which version of Evolution are you using. I know 2.28 was real buggy I downloaded 2.30 and everything is great now.

Quite simple actually I have Lucid so I am not 100% certain it will work but here is what I did
Add the PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jacob/evo230 && sudo apt-get update
and Install:
sudo apt-get install evolution

Let me know how it goes and if it works. If not I would recommend to uninstall and reinstall evolution.

Hi Crowderd,

have 9.04 and this does not have "add-apt-repository" but I'm sure I can work that in to 9.04 ( looking it up now )

Let you know how it goes

Ahh yes I forgot. I havent used 9.04 in quite some time but If i remember you can just add ppa:jacob/evo230 to your software sources (SYSTEM --> ADMIN --> Software Sources. then click other software then add and copy and paste). Im pretty sure this will work but again I try to update with beta additions so it has been some time since I have used 9.04 as always let me know!!

Hi Corowded

Making notes here so if someone find this thread he/she will work it out too

Ok under 9.04 System --> Administration --> Software Sources

with 9.04 its under Third-Party Software --> click on +add

this need to have the full url

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/fta/ubuntu jaunty main

But can't find the gpg key.

on update

W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net jaunty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 632D16BB0C713DA6

we are all most done just not sure how to find the key :)

Nozy,
This seems to be a lil more complicated than I expected. I dont know where you would find the key. Have you tried to add the source to /etc/apt/sources.list. Also Im not for sure where you got that particular url but try "http://ppa.launchpad.net/jacob/evo230/ubuntu jaunty main". I tried this on a friends Jaunty machine and it worked without problems, hopefully this will work for you.

Hi Crowderd

Did this and now we are getting.

E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Nozy,
This is getting to me... I have tried everything and now I cant get a successful install on Jaunty either. I am not very good at compiling source code but I know you can get the source from here:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/evolution/2.30/
I am not good at compiling but hope this helps.
