Hi,

I'm not sure if this matters but evolution switched to using the latest
XDG standards[1] for file locations in 2.32. Your user data is now no
longer in .evolution, rather its in .config/evolution. The new version
should automatically move files to the new location iirc. 

OR:

You can use gconf-editor to see the settings for the address book. iirc,
the source etc. are specified there. I had some trouble after a back up
and restore, making some changes to the gconf files fixed it. Do back up
your gconf settings before you go tweaking (~/.gconf/apps/evolution). 

You should also skim the evolution bug reports to see if this is a known
issue.

Ankur
