Thanks, I removed the "Cache offline address book" but I still got an Offline GAL, one that
I can populated by searching for people, then these are visible in that offline GAL. I rather not
recreate my account again as it takes a long time to download everything.
Can I fix somehow anyway?

Sidenote: populating the offline GAL has always been tricky(even with Basic auth), every restart of
evo lost it and it could take many minutes before it was populated, sometimes one had to do a few Refreshes 
too.
