Evolution can't correctly handle multiple accounts with same address

[Nick Phillips]

Binary package hint: evolution

If multiple accounts are set up, of which 2 have the same address (yes, there are valid reasons for this to happen), evolution fails to correctly set which is the default account.

Try to select each in turn as default account. Only the first in the list
will be settable as default.

[Expired for evolution (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

It's extremely annoying to have bugs that you've filed "expire" when there's no indication of any expectation of further input, no indication that anything is happening at all etc.

The bug as stated exists, and if something needs to be done to keep it "live" here, then that should be notified rather than just letting it expire.

Very frustrated - this seems to be a common occurrence.
