My last 2 upgrades of Evolution 1.4.5 also did not have the autocompletion working as it should. Go to setting -> folder settings-> autocompletion folders. It should say "Contacts" in "Local Folders". Unfortunately, even if this is there the autocompletion may not work. Remove the the entry and then add in exactly the same entry. Then auto completion works as it should. This may not work in your case, but I am 2 for 2 using this method. -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - should you trust your government?
