[gentoo-user] OT - Need help with Evolution-2.6

[Michael Sullivan]

My wife's mouse went crazy again last night (grr), and now she's lost
some of the components in her Evolution GUI, and I cannot figure out how
to get them back.  Her message preview pane (lower right hand corner of
screen) is gone, as is her Window button bar (Mail, Contacts, Calendars,
Memos, Tasks).  Can anyone help us get them back?

Try
View > Preview > Message Preview
(should be checked).  From there you have classic or "vertical" view -
good for widescreens.

That fixed it.  The problem was that when the Message Preview option was
checked, the message list went away and was replaced by the message
preview pane.  It turned out that there was a sliding separater that I
couldn't see...
