[Evolution] addressbook

[shawn <kcat koyuru com>]

After having problems with my address book, I tried changing
home/me/evolution to home/me/evolution_removed and shutdown, ran killev,
restarted it and got a new evolution folder.

I still have problems with the address book crashing (RH 8.0 upgraded
evo to 2.1) though.

Could this be a bug, or is evolution somehow finding the removed folders
and screwed up (thank probably to me) address book.

By the way, there wasn't anything in the addressbook when I started and
I have no idea whether it was really working in the first place.

A primary cause is trying to add an address from a recieved message. 
Adding by myself seems to work in the new folder but it still crashes
often.

PS  I can tell I will like the product.  The filters and folders
especially work well which is my main concern
