[Evolution] Problems with evolution 1.02 on SuSE 8.0

[Tim Voetmann <tim voetmann gmx de>]

Hello all,

I freshly installed Evolution 1.02 that was delivered with SuSE 8.0 (no
update of existing configuration).

When I start evo it says that it can't find the addressbook and asks me
to check the path and whether I have sufficient rights. When I open the
Contacts Folder I cannot enter any new contacts because the button and
the menu entry are deactivated.

What is the exact path or where can I set this ?
There is a file

~/evolution/local/Contacts/addressbook.db

in my Home-Directory but it is empty.

I'd be very thankful for any help.
Tim
