Thanks for the tips Sebastien, After upstream discussion, I am beginning to believe that something in the upgrade process is causing this issue:
I have a laptop (Ubuntu 9.10 32-bit) and a desktop (9.10 64-bit), both having been upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04-->8.10-->9.04-->9.10, and both exhibit this same problem. On both the desktop and laptop, I tried several users, including a brand new clean user just to test this problem. This clean new user exhibits the problems I described in the original bug report. However, on the desktop computer, I have a clean partition that I installed Ubuntu 9.10 beta onto. This problem is not exhibited in Evolution on the fresh install of ubuntu 9.10 beta on that separate partition. I'm therefore led to the conclusion that something in the upgrade history is preventing proper google sync. Do you have any thoughts on where to begin cleaning out old Evolution junk? -- Evolution fails to add google contacts with message "Error adding Contact" other error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/465015 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
