Evolution's excellent addressbook hasn't been working well for more than a year now, starting with 11.04. The 'crowd' must have moved over to Thunderbird, or what else could be the reason for such a low priority for this annoying bug? Any Android user would love to have this working!
Currently, I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 (with evolution 3.2.3). There are two ways to get a Google addressbook working *for one session only*: 1. Start evolution, kill e-addressbook-factory, (re)open contacts (see above) 2. Run 'seahorse' from a terminal, delete the passwd for google://<youraddress>%40gmail....@gmail.com; start evolution, open addressbook, retype passwd. (This works for calendar trouble too: delete caldav://...... instead.) Unfortunately, this solution only works for one session; upon re- invocation the whole misery starts again. Could this bug be related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgdata/+bug/755043 ? Is there a way to increase to priority of this bug? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution-data-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1010349 Title: Evolution address book inaccessible without killing one time "e -addressbook-factory" Status in “evolution-data-server” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After a fresh boot of my system, Evolution is not able to access my work address book on LDAP and my personnal address book on Google.
