Mea culpa, I should have explained more clearly. Automatic Contacts is
enabled, however the "Select Address book" selection is blank. The
drop-down list for it includes two "On This Computer" folder entries
both offering a "Personal" folder for selection and they are
indistinguishable from each other. After grepping through
~/.config/evolution I surmised that the two entries probably
corresponded to the two "Store" entries that were found in
mail/state.ini:

%cd ~/.config/evolution && grep -r 'Store.*mbox' .
./mail/state.ini:[Store mbox:/home/ws/.evolution/mail/local]
./mail/state.ini:[Store mbox:/home/ws/.local/share/evolution/mail/local]
./mail/folders/.goutputstream-M54NFV:[Store mbox:/home/ws/.evolution/mail/local]
./mail/folders/.goutputstream-R4VQLV:[Store mbox:/home/ws/.evolution/mail/local]
./mail/.goutputstream-WNN9OV:[Store mbox:/home/ws/.evolution/mail/local]
./mail/.goutputstream-WNN9OV:[Store mbox:/home/ws/.local/share/evolution/mail/local]

I don't use the Address Book extensively but I'm reasonably certain that
Evolution presents the two "On This Computer"/"Personal" folders
wherever the selection of an Address Book is required.

So what should/can I do to eliminate the extraneous "On This Computer"
entry?


Thanks,
