[Evolution] Frustrated!

[Jeffrey Needle <jeff needle gmail com>]

Hi.  I have tried Evolution, several versions.  I know the older 
versions won't sync my google contacts.  Google has changed something, 
and it's all gone to pot.

I had an idea -- export my contacts and import them into Evolution. But 
no matter which version of Evolution I try, the import just fails.  I 
have a vcard file with about 1600 contacts.  I start the import, and it 
just stops and dies.

Can someone advise me as to how I can get the contacts into Evolution?  
I've tried both vcard and csv, but both fail.

Thanks.
