Suman,

Thanks for the help on this one, but it did not work.  I was able to
follow all of your instructions except the last line,

killall -s SIGHUP /usr/lib/GConf/2/gconfd-2

which returned a file not found.

hmm.. you could try:

[the first 4 steps remain the same]
killall -s SIGHUP gconfd-2

this makes the gconf-daemon reload its cache.. [so that the evolution configs we deleted in step 3 get notified to the daemon]

It deleted some things,
      * Stuff On This Computer
      * Filters
      * Signatures
but did not solve the problem I was trying to fix with it.

Please do correct me if I'm mistaken: You are looking to wipe out all your account information from Evolution and start afresh, i.e. the next time you start Evolution, it should start the Evolution Account/Setup Assistant [stable version] or show the beta-warning [unstable version].

If yes, then the 5-step procedure described above would help.. :)

For some reason, my exchange hosted personal Contacts display a few
apparently arbitrary addresses, always the same, but never more than 6
or so (I think there are about 1200 total).

I have another computer on the same network with the identical version
of Evolution as this one, but that one shows all of the contacts.  The
only difference is the properly functioning installation is on xubuntu
(xfce) and the problem one is on kubuntu (kde); I don't expect that is
the problem, but I am passing it on.


Both computers show the Global Address List.

Any ideas?

None from me.. evolution-hackers ?
