I have determined that the <a href="http://192.168.10.50">192.168.10.50</a> IP address belongs to my Print Server. So this explains the error message that "...some other host is already using address <a href="http://192.168.10.50"> 192.168.10.50</a>." Starting the Evolution EMail shell still produces the error message, "cannot access Ximian Evolution shell "The new discovery is that the <a href="http://192.168.10.50">192.168.10.50 </a> IP address has nothing to do with this. However, I did at one point create a Ethernet connection, eth0, for this IP address. Obviously, this was a mistake. The question is have I corrupted the TCPIP configuration somehow (or the configuration of Evolution)? How can I fix the Evolution email program?

He Kmail application works but not Evolution Email. When I try to start Evolution, an error message appears, "Cannot access the Ximian Evolution Shell." After updating RedHat, I got an error in the boot up.that the eth0 connection could not be started because, "...some other host is already using address <a href="http://192.168.10.50">192.168.10.50</a>." The Kmail client would not work either. To get an email client, I used the Network Configuration Tool to delete the installed connection and create a new one. The installed connection had a fixed IP address at <a href="http://192.168.10.50">192.168.10.50</a> and it's status was "Inactive." I tried to Activate" it but got the message the "some other host is already using address 192..168.10.50." So, I deleted this connection. After installing a new connection at <a href="http://192.168.10.51">192.168.10.51</a>, I am able to use KMail but not Evolution. I am not sure why the <a href="http://192.168.10.50">192.168.10.50</a> connection is "locked." In fact, it no longer exists, at least when viewed with the Network Configuration application. I assigned this fixed IP address when I originally configured RedHat. My machine came setup by Dell but I configured it. The <a href="http://192.168.10.50">192.168.10.50</a> connection worked for months with Evolution Email. The reason that Evolution will no longer open is probably that it is configured to use a connection that no longer works for some reason. I would like to clear this "other host that is using <a href="http://192.168.10.50">192.168.10.50</a>" but do not know what to do to accomplish this. Once cleared, maybe Evolution will open and I will be back in business. I do not understand why this <a href="http://192.168.10.50">192.168.10.50</a> connection has apparently gotten locked up. After a considerable effort I have swapped the physical drives 0 and 1 to install another operating system which craves drive 0 in a dual boot arrangement, and in the process of reconfiguring Grub to run from drive 1 I had occasion to send some emails out to my other computer. In reconfiguring Grub I was booted to a copy of Knoppix but configured KMail to use <a href="http://192.168.10.50">192.168.10.50</a>. This worked. I do not know if KMail was running in Knoppix or in the copy of Linux in the /root directory on the new drive 1. Thank you for any assistance you can provide. Basically, what I want to do is delete the 192,168.10.50 connection that has apparently been taken over by some process and recreate it for Evolution to use. Maybe I have to uninstall Evolution in order to accomplish this. I do not know how to uninstall Evolution.
