Evolution problem

[Michael Sullivan]

I tried to start up Evolution this morning so that I could read my email 
and it gave me this error: "Cannot initiate the Ximian Evolution shell. 
Configuration database not found."

I created a new account and tried Evolution in that account and it 
worked fine. I then copied the entire Evolution directory into my 
account and changed the permissions and got the exact same error. How do 
I fix it???
