[Evolution] Continuing adress-book problems

[Brewster Gillett <bg fdi us>]

There appears to be something seriously broken in the Address Book.
On Monday I sent a couple of time-critical emails to a small group
list (12 names) that I had regularly used prior to upgrading to 2.28.1.
It now appears that neither of these messages were supplied with
addresses - when I view them in the "SENT" folder, no "TO:"
address appears, and apparently nobody on that list received either
message. Even more puzzling, given that apparently an email was sent
to null, is that I have no bounce from it, as I would expect.

Yet the group appears normally in the Contacts list,
and I have a screenshot verifying that, which is probably way
too large to be posted to the list. This group also shows up in the
pop-up list that drops when you hit "TO": as part of the composition
process. All normal and expected, up to that point.

I have other instances where individual Contacts appear in the main
Contacts editing screen, but fail to turn up in that pop-up list that
you access when you mash the "TO:" button in composing an email. Which
means that they are unavailable, or unusable if you prefer.

This in addition to the sorting issues that I have raised previously, 
which nobody seems to be able to verify.

How can this happen? 

It beggars the imagination to suppose that nobody on this list ever
makes a practice of addressing originating email messages by
accessing the Contacts list as part of the process of composing
an original email message. 

Let alone that what worked fine in previous Evo versions - the 
small group lists of Contacts - now appears to be broken.
Does nobody else use that part of Evo either?

What am I missing here?

This latest messup is causing me some serious trouble with timelines.
If these things are not repairable I'm going to have to abandon Evo
for good.


Thanks,

Brewster Gillett
