ok this is to damn weird. I recovered in hardcopy my addressbook by
uninstalling evolution thru redcarpet and reinstalling the preview
version. it saw them fine. I printed them out. then i uninstalled the
preview version thru redcarpet and then reinstalled the snapshot thru
redcarpet. everytime after shutting down evolution in this process i ran
killev. the first time i opened the snapshot of evolution back up my
addressess were there. and i could open them individually. i then shut
down evolution and restarted it and they were gone again. very weird. if
you have any questions or suggestions im still all ears.

PS at least i have my addresses :) and before anyone tells me i shouldnt
keep mission critacal info in a beta software, i allready know. :) lol
so sue me ;)
I use it every day for all my email and contacts and calendaring and i
love it. so to you guys who actually code on it. keep up the great job.
I would love one day to be able to go to some of my clients and replace
windows systems with linux boxes and this is a major step in that
direction.
