After having problems with my address book, I tried changing home/me/evolution to home/me/evolution_removed and shutdown, ran killev, restarted it and got a new evolution folder.
I still have problems with the address book crashing (RH 8.0 upgraded evo to 2.1) though. Could this be a bug, or is evolution somehow finding the removed folders and screwed up (thank probably to me) address book. By the way, there wasn't anything in the addressbook when I started and I have no idea whether it was really working in the first place. A primary cause is trying to add an address from a recieved message. Adding by myself seems to work in the new folder but it still crashes often. Shawn PS I can tell I will like the product.
