Solved. Simply required a reboot, which was a bit odd because I got the same message about sessionmanager and dbus, but after 30 seconds it rebooted. Opened Evolution, there was all of my contacts and no duplicates.
I looked for a place to donate money to the Evolution project on the gnome project page, but didn't see one. Is there a link where I can donate? And, thanks for your very patient help. -- Barry -----Original Message----- From: Milan Crha via evolution-list <evolution-list@gnome.org> Reply-To: Milan Crha <mc...@redhat.com> To: evolution-list@gnome.org Subject: Re: [Evolution] Address Book not Restoring Date: Wed, 02 Sep 2020 17:11:01 +0200 On Wed, 2020-09-02 at 09:56 -0500, BC via evolution-list wrote: > But, now back to it won't import.

Could you: $ cd ~/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system $ sqlite3 contacts.db "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM folder_id" Does the number reflect the result of (using the restored contacts.vcf from the previous steps): $ cat contacts.vcf | grep -c BEGIN If those match, then I suggest to check whether anything from the following is in effect for that address book: https://help.gnome.org/users/evolution/stable/contacts-searching.html.en Bye, Milan _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
