[Bug 884980] Re: entering the new contact information does not show up whensaved but entering it again results in a dialoge box saying that contact is already recorded. Only the plug ins and preferences options are available in the edit menu. The Actions menu displays only the last three options. Rebooting Evolution results in no contacts showing up in the Personal contacts under 'On this Computer" and non of them are being recorded erroneously in the Couch adress book for Ubuntu One.

 

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug.  I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Title:
  entering the new contact information does not show up whensaved but
  entering it again results in a dialoge box saying that contact is
  already recorded.  Only the plug ins and preferences options are
  available in the edit menu. The Actions menu displays only the last
  three options. Rebooting  Evolution results in no contacts showing up
  in the Personal  contacts  under 'On this Computer" and non of them

Bug description:
  I am using version 10.10 of Ubuntu and I have just installed it from a
  disk distributed by mail directly from Ubuntu and it was passed on to
  me to install it. The updates downloaded many Evolution security
  updates etc.  I am a new linux user. I am concerned that the product
  contact module is storing my entries without giving me the option to
  edit or deleting the same, let alone not allowing the entries from
  being displayed. I hope a virus script has not hijacked my address
  book for some nefarious purposes. By the way my program is sending and
  receiving mail ok. I am using the 2.30.3-1ubuntu7.3 version of
  Evolution
