Evolution adds contacts when replying

[Charles]

Binary package hint: evolution

I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy with Evolution 2.11.92-0ubuntu1

I checked the setting Automatic Contacts settings, but that option is not activated. Although, all recipients to whom I reply to, are added to my addressbook.

Anyone can confirm this?

I couldn't reproduce this bug, when the "automatic contacts" plugin is unchecked nothing is added to my contacts when reply mails.
could you try to reproduce this with a newly created user?

[Charles (charles-bovy)]

For verification I created a new user and added an IMAP account. The addressbook was empty. When replying to an e-mail, the addressbook is filled with a new contact.
I can try to deinstall and reinstall evolution and see if that helps.
Any other ways to debug?

Do you have the preferences option to add contacts when replying activated?

[Charles (charles-bovy)]

No, the option is not activated.

I can reproduce this bug with version 2.12.0-0ubuntu5 of Evolution (that came with Gutsy).
I am also running on a 64bit platform.

As soon as I click the "Reply" button the person gets added into my Contacts list.
The plugin is enabled but by default the check box under preferences is unchecked but yet the plug-in still works.
Technically if the box in the preferences is unchecked it should disable that functionality without having to disable the plug-in completely.
I've also tried toggling it on and off and even restarting Evolution. It just acts like the check box isn't working.

You can disable the feature by disabling the automatic contacts plugin in the plugins list (Edit->Plugins). The real problem is that the checkbox in preferences is ignored.

Thank you for your bug report. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try to reproduce with the latest version of Evolution, 2.21.90?

Thanks again!

Problem is solved in Evolution 2.21.91, using Hardy.

Ticket closed. Fixed in Evolution 2.21.91
