Re: [Evolution] Unable to open addressbook

[Sean Russell <Sean elk-rapids com>]

I have removed and created the directories, the addressbook.db file is
not created, the .ics files for tasks and calender are created, however
they cannot be opened by evolution.  When I try to access them I get a
error message "Could not load the tasks in
'file:///home/XXX/evolution/local/Tasks' "  and the status bar shows 
opening tasks at file:///home/XXX/evolution/local/Tasks/Tasks.ics (...)

When I try to open the address book I get the usual verify it exists
check permissions due to the fact the file does not exist.
The XML files are the same as the one you sent.

Starting evolution from the command line then switching from the inbox
to the tasks file gives the following

$ evolution
(Killing old version of Wombat...)
calendar-gui-Message: e_tasks_open(): Could not issue the request
 
(evolution:951): Bonobo-CRITICAL **: file bonobo-ui-util.c: line 182

Hope this helps somewhat
