GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 346353
Synchronising addressbook with GAIM buddylist does nothing
Last modified: 2013-09-13 00:50:52 UTC
That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/51270 "I'm trying to synchronise my gaim buddylist with evolution via edit->preferences->mail preferences->automatic contacts, then hitting "synchronise with buddylist now". When I hit the button no contacts are synchronised to evolution. I tried closing and opening evolution and still nothing. I'm expecting all of my gaim contacts nicknames, and IM details to be imported to evolution. I'm using evolution 2.6.1-0ubuntu7 and gaim 1:1.5.0+1.5.1cvs20051015-1ubuntu10"
Thanks for the bug report; this particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 346180 ***
Not a duplicate, restarting evolution makes no difference
i guess it's a dup and that restarting does not change anything - see bug 338710 comment 21, which i still consider to be the same reason for this.
I'll give it a new try with GNOME 2.15.4 next week
