I have OpenSuSE Tumbleweed 64 bit installed on my System76 Lemur Ultra Thin (lemu4) notebook PC. I installed Evolution tonight and it keeps crashing when I try to add my one and only Google GMail e-mail account. After I setup my name and e-mail address, I press the next button and it crashes. How do I provide information that will be useful to you to help me to debug this issue? I’d like to switch to Evolution from Mozilla Thunderbird if possible. Thanks for your help.
I can’t help you with your problem except to say the best help with evolution I have seen is at evolution-list@gnome.org. A few of the developers frequent that list and have been a lot of help.
That is not to say that you won’t get expert help here, just that it’s another resource.

You can start the program from terminal/konsole and check what error it
gives when crashing.
It might in rare cases solve some problems.
Mostly it will say seg fault here and seg fault there
GNOME 3.6.2
openSUSE Release 12.3 (Dartmouth) 64-bit
Kernel Linux 3.7.10-1.16-desktop
Forget it. I removed Evolution. It’s too much of a pain in the butt to fix it.
I never had problems with Evolution (except my own) on Intel based GNU/Linux systems, but on Sparc OpenBSD, it core dumps every time.
Have you tried Claws-Mail?
Not the way to go IMHO. To elaborate: you’re running Tumbleweed, which includes GNOME, hence Evolution. My bet is that the culprit is in that area (Evolution from stock repo …??). If I would be right, the fix would be easy.
Please also think about how others might look at your next post.
