It did indeed! > as for you it should be just about getting rid of "file://" and > replace it with "local:", and bonus points if you get rid of "uri", > inside sources of On This Computer group > (other groups can have the 'uri' attribute mandatory).

So summarise the solution steps in case anyone experiences the same later on: run gconf-editor , navigate to apps/evolution/addressbook , double-click on sources , expand the window that appears, click on the one with name="On This Computer", click edit, copy the "edit list value" text, paste it into 2 text editor windows (one to edit, one to keep as a backup), in the edit version go and delete the uri="file://xxxxxxxxx" parts, paste it back into the "edit list value" box, click OK, click OK again, close the gconf-editor, File -> Quit out of evolution, wait for the window to close, then in a terminal do an "evolution --force-shutdown", wait 20 seconds, do a "ps auxwf | grep e-addressbook-factory" to confirm the process is no longer running, then restart evolution, and check all the local address books open, and they should all work. > Hope that helps It most definitely helps! Thank you very much indeed. :-) -- All the best, Nick. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
