Looks like something's wrong with your Linux account (not your email
account name but your local account on your computer). Presumably Evo is
looking up your home directory and getting a nonsensical answer. One
would expect the autosave file to be under /home/<account/, not directly
in /home. Since in most installations a non-root user cannot write
directly into /home, it's getting an error.

Also, 2.4 is a fairly old version of Evo.
