MSN and Yahoo account do not show my contacts. Gmail account does show contacts and it works.
However, all the account show inactive symbol after account name (red circle with a line through it) so that they cannot be deleted.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.
