Re: [Evolution] Re: addressbook sucks

Multisync? I couldn't find that.
I'm using 2.2.1.1

I thought since I could keep the mail files, I should be able to keep my
addressbook files also. I copied them to a disc, and copied those files
to my new machine's /.evolution/addressbook/local/system/
Acutally, thinking about it, I just copied addressbook.db and not the
summary. I thought the new system would build it's own summary, it seems
like it did somewhat since those contacts weren't visible immediately.
Now, my contacts screen is full, but Evolution still says it's empty.
