entering the new contact information does not show up whensaved but entering it again results in a dialoge box saying that contact is already recorded. Only the plug ins and preferences options are available in the edit menu. The Actions menu displays only the last three options. Rebooting Evolution results in no contacts showing up in the Personal contacts under 'On this Computer" and non of them are being recorded erroneously in the Couch adress book for Ubuntu One.

I am using version 10.10 of Ubuntu and I have just installed it from a disk distributed by mail directly from Ubuntu and it was passed on to me to install it. The updates downloaded many Evolution security updates etc. I am a new linux user. I am concerned that the product contact module is storing my entries without giving me the option to edit or deleting the same, let alone not allowing the entries from being displayed. I hope a virus script has not hijacked my address book for some nefarious purposes. By the way my program is sending and receiving mail ok. I am using the 2.30.3-1ubuntu7.3 version of Evolution

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
