Sorry, but evolution in its current state just doesn't work on
FreeBSD. :((( It is not yet clear where the problem is, but we
suspect that gnome-vfs could be a showstopper here. It seems
that developers of the core gnome components have put coding
speed in front of compatibility, so we have to live with that.

Please wait some time - we are really aware about the problem
and I hope that it will be fixed soon.
