I can report that this happens to be daily. Sometimes I can get around the problem by kill -9'ing all the evolution processes and then restarted evolution, but that doesn't work all the time either. I have noticed that there might be some Calendar related problems with this too. The only reason I say that is that once I restart evolution the calendar that is my default is not checked (evolution Calendar). This might just be due to the fact that I've "lost connection to the backend process", but just wanted to pass that along.
One other thing: I notice that I don't get this problem as much if I select the "To:" and get the "Select Contacts from Address Book" dialogue. In that screen it has you select which address book you want to search on, so I was wondering if the autocompletion is failing on the general search for which address book to use (I have a personal one). Also - any updates on this?
