I suspect you're going from phone to evolution and not in the other direction. I have the problem in that evolution address book is my master database, and i move data from it to the phone by deleting everything in the phone before a sync. This avoids the problems with the addressbook being contaminated by the whitespaces in address entries etc. you talk about.
If you're game - I'm intersted that you delete all your phone's addressbook entries then sync from evolution to see if the address info is copied across. Any other phones encounter bogus whitespace entering the Evolution address book when shifting data from phone to Evolution address book? I've offered to help debug this as I have a K700i (which should be similar to many other Symbian phones). On Tue, 2005-01-18 at 23:03 +0100, Marius Gravdal wrote: > You mean syncing the addressbook?
