I've installed and compiled Gentoo 1.0 R6 twice on my Duron system, and everything works until I get to Evolution (which I've never really gotten to work very well on other systems either, but I'd love to get it syncing with my Palm). When I go to the inbox, then Tools > Mail Settings, I get "Application "evolution-mail" has crashed due to a fatal error." I then get a second error that says "The Evolustion component that handles folders of type "mail" has unexpectedly quit. You will need to quit Evolution and restart in order to access that data again." When I look at the error messages sent to the terminal, I see Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_signal_disconnect_by_data(): could not find handler containing data (0x8149200) evolution-shell-WARNING **: Error changing interactive status of componenet OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Mail_ShellComponet to FALSE -- IDL:CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0 I'm not doing anything wacky with optimizations or whatever.

Which evolution ebuild did you use? I'm forwarding this bug to Grant who may be able to point you in the right direction.
For palm support 1.0-r5 still needs to be used. The workaround for evolution-mail crashing is, after installing, start up evo and then immediately shut it down. When you restart evo everything should work correctly. See bug #10 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 10 ***
