Comment 23 for bug 727370

I have been having the same issue since the initial upgrade to Natty.
After following the recommended steps, Evolution still has an empty
address book, but the error message is a bit different than before.
"DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message
bus)"
...and the terminal window is displaying:
~$ /usr/lib/evolution/e-addressbook-factory
