mandrake_alf Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 If I get email and want to add the senders address to my adbook, it appears to be successful for all of about 20 seconds then i get error msg that addressbook backend has crashed and will not work until i restart evolution. However, if I open the contact page, select Add new, it works ok.. Pretty much the same senerio with all the modules.. calender, tasks, but not email. Email seems to work fine... (send, reply, forward etc..) Issue started AFTER updating evolution from Mdk update list.. Eventually uninstalled that and went back to the original install CD version (mdk 9.1) but seems the problem is now systemic with any veriosn i use.. ideas?? suggestions??? actual solutions <g> ????

Steve Scrimpshire Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 (edited) Sounds like maybe your profile got corrupted. Have you tried backing up your ~/evolution directory and deleting it and seeing if that fixes it? Ex: mv ~/evolution ~/evolution.bak Edited January 25, 2004 by Steve Scrimpshire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandrake_alf Posted January 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Absolutely... One of the first things I tried.. What annoyed me was the new profile Evolutuion created still had all my mail, tasks, contactss.... Now just where in the hell did THAT come from? The original /home/user/evolution directory had been moved to a backup and deleted... ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coverup Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Since, you're using 1.2.2.... This version is not the latest in the 1.2.x series... Try to upgrade from the Ximian website via the redcarpet. For me, upgrading to 1.2.4 fixed a couple of hickups.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandrake_alf Posted January 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Unfortunately I think that may be pare of the problem... I did the upgrade from Mandrake Update site and since then this has been going on... I backsteped to this version but the problems seem to tag along.. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
