After migrating evolution to mbox my addresses "on this computer" are
not accessible from "new mail"

And when I wanted to look at the addresses at " contacts" all addresses where gone.
Only after restart the system the addresses are visible again

Title:
  Evolution failed to properly migrate Local Contacts during 2.32
  (Natty) Upgrade

Status in The Evolution Mail & Calendaring Tool:
  New
Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evolution

  After upgrading to Natty following the Beta 1 release, my local
  contacts were not correctly migrated.

  After the upgrade I could not access two of my three addressbooks.
  The "Personal" addressbook was accessible, however my older "Palm
  Contacts" (legacy data)  and "Autocompleted" (used by the plugin) did
  not migrate.  They had entries in Evolution, but resulted in URI error
  below.

  This address book cannot be opened. This either means that an incorrect URI was entered, or the server is unreachable.
  Detailed error message: Invalid source

  Initially thought was related to bug 752468, but I know now is a
  result of this incorrect migration.  Looking at the URI/sources I had
  the following entries with the broken addressbooks/contact lists.

  I know from reviewing this related bug comment that the above sources (uri=) were not correctly modified, except for the "Personal" where uri="system".

  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=632962#c7

  based on this comment I executed a python script designed to fix this problem, found here:
  http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/gnome/howtos/gnome-2.32-upgrade.xml 

  The fix-addressbook.py script worked after I changed the permissions
  for execution, and by modifying the first line to match the local
  python2.7 interpreter path.

  The same output now looks like below, and my contacts are totally
  accessible.

  FYI, I backed everything up before even starting my upgrade;  YMMV on
  this workaround.
