Hmm, strange error. This is in an already running system?

You'll only find out if you search yourself (unless someone on the list
happens to have had this problem as well -- Bugzilla gets filled by much
more people than reading this list).

In general: For every bug you find, look in Bugzilla whether it's
already there, if not put it in. Posting on this list alone is not
sufficient.

Hmm, I have a system that gets used by my wife as well for similar
purposes -- she doesn't have much problems with it (except BZ #103916
which can be worked around by switching to another component than the
mail component before eaxiting evolution).

While downgrading is theoretically possible, I'd recommend against it as
there is no easy way to do it (you have to downgrade packages manually).
