Hello Jurgen,
I sometimes have problems with my calendar information not showing up
and it usually requires me to log out completely out of Evolution AND
KDE, log back in again and everything is usually okay at this point.
So I was wondering if you'd tried that.
Also, changing version sometimes will cause this to happen. I keep a tar
archive of my Evolution folder structure that I update once a month just
to prevent me losing too much information if something goes wrong. All I
need to do is unpack it into my folder structure and things are back
where I left them.
It's come in handy for restoring my system or changing which distro of
Linux I want to try this month! You may consider doing that for future
problems. Keep in mind that in cases of a reload, make sure the userID
and # is the same as before.
Hope this helps.
