Re: [Evolution] use of contacts in Evolution 1.2.2-4

Hi,

Please confirm that your addressbook is marked for 
auto-completion. See Edit -> Preferences -> Autocompletion.
Also, mark your addressbook as default book (Select adderessbook,
right click , Properties -> Mark as default).

If it still doens't work, please run Evolution and Evolution-data-server
from console and file a bug in bugzilla.gnome.org with the 
log messages on console.

Thanks,
Sushma.
