I have tracked the setup and config files to ~.gconf/apps/evolution. In the Addressbook folder there, there is a %gconf.xml file (unique call having all these files named as %gconf.xml) Anyway, I edit the one in ~/.gconf/apps/evolution/addressbook, and I find that it has two entries: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ <li type="string"> <stringvalue><?xml version="1.0"?> <group uid="1162801071.10728.17@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" name="On This Computer" base_uri="local:" readonly="no"><source uid="1162801071.10728.18@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" name="Personal" uri="file:///home/lesh/.evolution/addressbook/local/system" relative_uri="system"><properties><property name="completion" value="true"/><property name="pilot-sync" value="true"/><property name="use-in-contacts-calendar" value="0"/></properties></source><source uid="1163129951.18548.0@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" name="Personal2" relative_uri="1163129951.18548.0@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><properties><property name="completion" value="true"/><property name="remember_password" value="false"/></properties></source></group> </stringvalue> </li> +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ and +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ <li type="string"> <stringvalue><?xml version="1.0"?> <group uid="1292063110.2475.0@school3" name="On This Computer" base_uri="local:" readonly="no"><source uid="1292063110.2475.1@school3" name="Personal" relative_uri="system"><properties><property name="completion" value="true"/><property name="remember_password" value="false"/></properties></source></group> </stringvalue> </li> +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ So far so good. Now in the first list string, there is a file referred to as personal2. This file operates as it should. The first name entry as personal does not. It doesn't appear to have a file associated with it. Since there is a personal address book associated with the second entry, I think all I should have to do is edit this %gonf.xml file and change the entry reference to match the second one. But that brings up a question of where the actual file is and if it is in the correct place? If it is not, then the next software update would mess things up again. If anyone can shed some light on this, I would appreciate it. How does the link mentioned, which appears to be 1292063110.2475@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx get resolved to point to the file?
