Description meesterpeter14 2009-01-30 21:50:11 UTC
Every time I go to adressbook I get this error:

"error loading adressbook.

Can't open adressbook.  Check if pad /home/peter/.evolution/addressbook/local/1230298733.6088.1@PeterLombaerts exsists and if you can approach it"

Then I go looking for this folder and it doesn't exsist. What to do now?

How did you upgrade? Since when does this happen?
Did you enable displaying hidden folders when looking for the folder?

I installed Fedora from live cd.

Well I made a backup of evolution before reinstalling fedora. I copied also all my folders of my personal folder, and also folder ".evolution" to my usb so I could use all my files again.

After I reinstalled fedora, I deleted all my hidden folders on my usb (including ".evolution") and after this I restored evolution from my backup file. Since then he gave this error. I think because the new ".evolution" isn't the same as when I made this backup. Since the error occured, I tried to delete these adressbooks, and then he gives this error. So I went looking for those folders and thinking I could delete those adressbooks by deleting the folders.

I even can't restore those folders because I cleared my trash.

When I create a new adressbook he also gives this error.

When I uninstalled and reinstalled evolution, all my preferences and accounts were still present. Should I have deleted the folder ".evolution" aswell after uninstall???

May be this is the solution??

Did you use Evolution's backup and restore function?

Also see http://www.go-evolution.org/FAQ#Where_does_Evolution_store_my_data.3F and the two items after.

Yes, I used the backup and restore function. Since I used it the error pops-up

Now 2 minuts ago I used the function again. But error keeps coming. I can't even delete the adressbooks of that backup or adressbook I just created after restore.
