Aha! I have determined that the 192.168.10.50 IP address belongs to my
Print Server. So this explains the error message that "...some other
host is already using address 192.168.10.50." Starting the Evolution
EMail shell still produces the error message, "cannot access Ximian
Evolution shell "The new discovery is that the 192.168.10.50 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?

I have recently updated my RedHat Enterprise workstation to version
2.4.21-37.0.1.EL but in the process the Evolution Email application no
longer works. 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 192.168.10.50."
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
192.168.10.50 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 192.168.10.51, I am able to use
KMail but not Evolution.
I am not sure why the 192.168.10.50 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 192.168.10.50 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 192.168.10.50" 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 192.168.10.50 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 192.168.10.50. 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.
