Maybe someone can shed some light on this one: I added a contact, but instead of [Ok] actioning the addition and closing the contact editor, it kept popping back up. This went through 5-6 cycles, and suddenly I got an "Address book component crashed". Ok, so, fine. Restart Evolution. No biggie. But then I'd get the crashed message every run, and that address book was empty [despite there being 700K of data in the .db file on disk] Badâ As I had just (a day or so ago) migrated [back] from another machine, I was able to try and rsync the addressbook stuff in .evolution and .gconf back. But that had no effect; the "crash" kept happening, and I couldn't get to my contact list. Finally it occurred to me to create a vcard with `evolution-addressbook-export` and then scp'd that from the previous machine to this one, and, having created a new addressbook folder, used import to get that rather monsterous vcard file in. Meanwhile I manually nuked the folder that contained the old data from within .evolution/addressbook/local, and it stopped crashing. So, "recovered", except that now that original folder is still there and I'm not seeming to be allowed to delete it. Any suggestions? I'd file a bug, but really, this is either an "I did something stupid" or a "whoa we need to talk about this first". I _might_ be able to recreate the scenario if someone needs me to.
