I use the very latest test version of Evolution.  There is no export for
the address book or any other module.

Crombe: Your problem cannot be unique.  I would look on the Thunderbird

desperate measure I have imported my address book from Evo. into my
browser home page (for me that is RogersYahoo!) and re-exported it into
a new emailer.
