Re: [Evolution] Contact list woes.

[Rodd Clarkson <rodd redfishbluefish com au>]

Malachi,

Thanks, this might be helpful.  I'll try it at home some time soon.

However, this is really related to updating the contact list to the
right libdb file.

I'm also not getting the contact list working for a new profile.  If I
remove ~/evolution and then restart evo, the contacts still don't work.

I'll download the last snapshot tonight, but this has been a problem for
some time.

"Microsoft, which used to say all the time that the software business 
was ruthlessly competitive, is now matched against a competitor whose 
model of production and distribution is so much better that Microsoft 
stands no chance of prevailing in the long run. They're simply trying 
to scare people out of dealing with a competitor they can't buy, can't 
intimidate and can't stop."
