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.

Well, I disabled all the plugins and still takes 40 seconds to open that's a lot longer than linux with all the plugins enabled.  As far I'm concerned evolution is out of my list of programs, I still have my doubts about the real reason as to why it takes so long to open.  In reality there's no real reason as to why a program will take so long to open, if that's the case evolution will loose a lot of users in the FreeBSD community.
