Can't add new address book

That bug has been described on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/39086 "Evolution (2.6.1, dapper) won't allow me to add a new address book. Select "New Address Book", enter a name for it. The "OK" button stays disabled. Can't find any workaround. http://librarian.launchpad.net/2027938/Screenshot-New%20Address%20Book.png Screenshot showing the bug. ... I just managed to work around the problem by disabling the plugin "Exchange Operations" under "Edit" -> "Plugins". Now I can add address book again; strange... ... Seems that we've got a winner: disabling "Exchange Operations" solves the problem. ..." The issue happens when using the exchange plugin for everybody it looks like
Confirming. Had this very issue with a FC5 user, Evo 2.6.1. Same problem description (not enabled OK button) when creating new Address Books, same solution (disable the Exchange plugin). Urgent, critical, usability issue (or lack thereof ;)
*sigh* Can't reproduce this myself. Even after enabling Exchange Operations and forcing a shutdown, Evo still does not refuse to create new Address Books for me. What are the differences? * I do have a bunch of plugins disabled, manually. Interaction between multiple plugins? * I do have a default Address Book (see the Address Books Properties), set *manually* due to anoher bug. Most users likely do not have any Address Book set as default. * I do have multiple local Address Books as well as an LDAP one. The guy on IRC I mentioned earlier did not have any Address Book but the Personal one. * I neither do use Ubuntu nor FC5, but a GARNOME built version. Hmm, I actually am using 2.6.0 at the moment, not 2.6.1 -- maybe this was introduced in 2.6.1 only?? Do all these users who are affected have some things in common, like the ones I mentioned above? Sebastien?
