[Evolution] pddressbook only oartly visible

[Joep Blom <jlblom neuroweave nl>]

I hope you can help me out.
I have had a nasty crash, due to a faulty DVD-reader when upgrading from 
FC4 to FC5 resulting in the disappearance of crucial parts of the 
xorg-system and the evolution installation. I need to repartition the 
disk to install a fresh FC5. I need however my evolution as all my 
addresses and appointments are now unreachable!!.
I have saved the .evolution from my /home/user/ directory as well as the 
gnome2_private directory.
To get the information again I installed an Ubuntu Breezer Life CD which 
has evolution 2.4. (My old evolution was I think 2.2 or 2.3).After some 
juggling I was able to read the addresses but of the > 200 addresses 
only 6 are shown and they seem to be randomly chosen. Also the header 
categories is not shown in the display list (although it appears in the 
full address display) and the categories I had added (about 10) are not 
visible in the category list. I haven't as yet destroyed the original 
account as I don't know what more I need.
Is there maybe another program to read addressbook.db.I can read the 
names and E-mail addresses from addressbook.db.summary with a simple 
ascii reader but not the complete information.
I hope somebody can give me the solution as it is simply a disaster when 
all my addresses are lost!! Why won't evolution 2.4 read the addresses 
(as the are there!).
