The icon for Firefox is located:
/usr/share/pixmaps/firefox-3.0.png

The icon for Evolution is located:
/usr/share/icons/Human/scalable/apps/evolution.svg

You can simply right click where the icon is supposed to be and select
"Properties", click on the box to the upper left and type those into the
resulting location bar at the top of the window.

Using the same "Properties" application as before, simply remove the
-2.6 section Command area, but be careful not to remove more.

The command area should read: evolution --component=mail when you're
done.

You can fix that by right clicking the word "Applications" and choosing
"Edit Menus"... then go to the Office and uncheck Mail and Calender
enter... then right click the other entry and remove the -2.6
part again.

Apologies for the problems you have experienced, hopefully the rest of
the process has gone great for you  :)
