I've just tested this in with a clean installation running in a VM. The steps to recreate the problem are as follows, setup pidgin since this appears to be what evolution is using to "automatically" install the contacts .
Then in evolution Edit -> Preferences -> "Mail Preferences" -> "Automatic Contacts" then click on "Synchronize with buddy list now". Now the contacts list is populated with all my contacts in this case MSN contacts. So, if I then click on "New" (email) and in the new blank email click on "To:" to select a contact to email the "contacts" box in this dialog is empty even though my contacts appear when on the "contact view". As I posted earlier in this thread it appears that the Snyc plugin isn't populating the correct fields. -- Evolution contacts missing in new or forward emails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/241274 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
