I incidentally ran into this error, I put the workaround here so others
can find it. This is apparently caused by the order of name resolution
in /etc/nsswitch.conf. If "wins" happens before "dns" in the name
resolution chain, evolution aborts with the error reported (when the
MAPI plugin is installed).

To solve the problem you need to put "wins" AFTER "dns" in the
resolution chain, i.e.,  the following chain duplicates the problem:

hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] wins dns mdns4

If you invert the position of WINS and DNS, the problem is gone:

hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns wins mdns4

Emir
