How do I access the contacts which are in
~/.evolution/addressbook/local/system/addressbook.db ?
The only way I've ever been able to move contacts between evolution
installations is to export them as a vcf file in the old
installation, and import them again in the new installation. They're
stored in Berkeley DB format in that .db file, so if anyone knows a
way to export the info directly from one of those, I'd like to hear
about it too...
