Evolution Contacts not Auto-populating

  • 772

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Evolution 2.28.3. I have Evolution configured to use my gmail contacts.

When composing a message, entering addresses does not automatically resolve in any way. In order to use an address from my contacts, I need to click on the To: button and select contacts from the list. The list itself is fine - all my contacts are present.

Is there any way to have Evolution automatically resolve email addresses as I type? I've looked through the preferences and found nothing helpful.

  1. I had the same problem and solved it by checking three boxes:

    a. Evolution-Mail -> Edit -> Preferences -> Contacts -> [x] Always show address of the autocompleted contact / [x] Gmail

    b. Evolution-Contacts -> Gmail -> Properties -> [x] Autocomplete with this address book

    Hope that helps.
