Correct. I have tried a recent version, 1.4.6 I think, but had some other problems. However, the pkg came from somewhere else and worked for a few days, until the pango library was updated. Then I started getting crashes on a particular font, so I went back to this installation. > > my addressbook is located at "~/evolution/local/Contacts/addressbook.db" > access permissions are: -rw------- I have -rw-r--r-- on my main account, which fails and the same on my secondary account, which works fine. > > The message detail is: > > 'We are unable to open this addressbook.

That message was a message in gnome. From a console, the output is as follows. This is on Solaris 9 sparc. << [EMAIL PROTECTED] amoore]$ (Killing old version of Wombat...) calendar-gui-Message: launch_alarm_daemon_cb(): Could not activate the alarm notification service (evolution-1.4:15715): EBook-WARNING **: e_book_construct: Could not obtain a handle to the Personal Addressbook Server with IID `OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Wombat_ServerFactory' (evolution-1.4:15715): EBook-WARNING **: Couldn't activate any book factories.

I have been working on this for many months now. I have tried a lot of mua programs. I also use SylpheedClaws and Mulberry, but Evolution is my favorite. The indexes or whatever it is called in Evolution is incredible. One of my folders has over 10,000 messages and displays instantly in Evolution with a sort of date descend and threaded, about 45 seconds to display in SylpheedClaws and instantly in Mulberry if I use the imap msg nbr for the sequence. BTW, Evolution worked great on my main account for a couple of months and then something went sour.
