then you wouldn't want to have an addressbook with 5000 entries, would
you? (but i guess this would happen if you import every single address.)
sounds like a huge overload to me.

hmm... i see... anyway, just for your interest, guenther once posted his
generic address book recovery instructions at
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2006-January/msg00204.html

i don't think that there is an easy way to import every address
contained in incoming mail to the address book, at least none that i
know of - right-clicking on every email address and using the "add
contact to address book" option would at least make sure that you only
have those contacts stored that you really need. :-/

cheers,
andre
