I've skimmed through the mailing list archives and bugzilla but have not found this mentioned. If I'm incorrect, and this has been discussed, feel free to point me in the right direction.
I've been using Evolution 1.4 for a while, and was tempted into compiling 1.5.93 by the webcal support, improved interface, etc. I'm using Gentoo BTW, and am doing all of this through portage. Everything works wonderfully, with the big exception of Contacts. I understand that this is pre-2.0, but ideally I'd like to get it working, and at least present this issue as a potential bug. All of my data was imported correctly, except I am completely lacking an address book. When I click on "Contacts" on the bottom right, I see an empty white space where the mail tree resides, and nothing on the right except grey. If I right click on the empty white space I get "New Address Book", and greyed out I see "Delete" and "Properties". If I click "New Address Book" a new dialog is created, but before it fully renders the application dies. When reading emails, I can right-click on addresses and add them to contacts, but they do not appear in the address book. When composing a message, if I click the "To:" button I get the expected dialog, but no entries under the "Address Book", and obviously I have nothing to select to move to the "To:", "Cc:", and "Bcc:" fields. My Contacts do work fine using 1.4 and I wonder if for some reason 1.5 was not able to migrate them over properly, if the addressbook.db file was somehow malformed, etc. I saw the executable "evolution- addressbook-clean" in the /usr/libexec/evolution/1.5/ directory, and when I run it, I see two entries: myself that I manually added by running New->Contact while in the empty Contacts view, and one for the Evolution List that I added by right clicking on an address in an email I received on this list. Any suggestions you have would be much appreciated, and if you require more information about my system, or you would like copies of files and such, let me know.
