Hi Milan: Ok. I deleted the address book that was there, ~48Mbytes. Did the exports as you advised below while logged in as myself in a terminal and restarted evolution. As you said, the address book (contacts) repopulated albeit exactly the same as before. Contacts that I had, NOT inside the company, load with all their details, the company stuff that our IS guys ported over from the exchange address book show on the email addresses, nothing else. Its still loading, at 7,000 contacts so far. The debug terminal is very busy, will send a sample output when its done.

Vala support is for language bindings, thus anything using Vala can access libgdata structures easily. That's not the case of the evolution-data-server. You can see what the Google server returns, which will also prove whether my expectations are correct, by following these steps: 1) close evolution 2) close/kill evolution-addressbook-factory (ps ax | grep evolution) 3) go to ~/.cache/evolution/addressbook/ and delete there a subfolder which corresponds to your Google contacts. If unsure, then delete them all - the worst it will do is that it'll download everything again for all your remote address books. 4) open a terminal and issue these commands there: $ export G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all $ export LIBGDATA_DEBUG=255 $ /usr/libexec/evolution-addressbook-factory -w The actual path to evolution-addressbook-factory can differ in your distribution. 5) wait a bit, thus D-Bus will have registered this addressbook factory 6) run evolution, move to contacts and select the Google address book Shortly after the book is selected the evolution-addressbook-factory will have new debug information printed, some prefixed with libgdata. Those will show what was received from the server. Evolution shows all it can read, and my own addressbook on the Google server provides definitely more than just email address.
