First I was running 6.3 but I upgraded to 7.0 thinking that it might of solve the problem but it didn't.  What amazes me is, I've got ubuntu installed on the same machine and it only takes 3 seconds to start, also it only takes 3 seconds to start in windows.  Evolution running like this is completely worthless.  Any ideas what might be causing this?  Please respond to my email address also.

Plug-ins don't seem to have an effect when running it on ubuntu, all the plug-ins are enabled under ubuntu and still starts in 3 seconds.  Are you trying to say that the FreeBSD loader is kind of primitive comparing to the linux loader?
