When I right click on contacts and select 'copy book content for offline operation' i get an error which says 'Folder does not exist'

[Alfredo Cardenas]

Binary package hint: evolution

This used to happen intermittently, but now it's all the time. Occasionally, when I delete the entire data store and start over it goes away.

Release: Ubuntu 9.04

apt-cache policy evolution:
evolution:
  Installed: 2.26.1-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 2.26.1-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 2.26.1-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I expected evolution to download my contacts list, instead i got an error and it would not display my contacts.

Hi Sorry for taking so long to respond. This is always reproducible. Here
are the steps:

1. Set up evolution for exchange (I am using hosted exchange at
mail.navisite.com)
2. Enter all of my credential information
3. Once my folders come up, right click the ones I want to download for
offline usage (I am using a laptop)
4. wait for all of my mail to download
5. click on "contacts" (I can see all of my personal contacts here)
6. right click my folder and go to properties
7. select any combination of check boxes and press OK.
8. i see the error.
Note: I tried moving aside the .evolution folder and re downloading all of
my mail and get the same error

I use an outlook personal address book, is this the answer you are looking
for?

Thanks,
Alfredo
