Yes, I imported into Computer/Personal. The count from contacts.db in the local/share/evolution/addressbook/system was 1,071, which actually may be double the amount of contacts I have. So, I hope there are not duplicates in there now. But, I'm not seeing any in Evolution?  Also, I did not follow the purpose or where to run this command: cat contacts.vcf | grep -c BEGIN I don't have a contacts.vcf file. You mean contacts.ics? -- Barry -----Original Message----- From: Milan Crha via evolution-list <evolution-list gnome org> Reply-To: Milan Crha <mcrha redhat com> Subject: Re: [Evolution] Address Book not Restoring Date: Wed, 02 Sep 2020 17:11:01 +0200 Hi, I suppose you imported it into the On This Computer/Personal. Could you: $ cd ~/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system $ sqlite3 contacts.db "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM folder_id" Does the number reflect the result of (using the restored contacts.vcf from the previous steps): $ cat contacts.vcf | grep -c BEGIN If those match, then I suggest to check whether anything from the following is in effect for that address book: https://help.gnome.org/users/evolution/stable/contacts-searching.html.en Bye, Milan |
