 [ refile of SF bug 1641892 seeing as you are just closing all SF bugs and
 not forwarding them to the new bug system.  tsk.  tsk.  tsk ]

 I have gaim and evolution and am using the sync of address books between
 them.  It's pretty good but for a few warts...

 I seem to get contacts added to my evolution contact list for gaim buddies
 even though those buddy accounts are already listed in an already existing
 evo contact  Is there any check done before adding an evo contact if the
 buddy account is already listed in one of the many IM contact spaces in an
 evo contact?

 If I have multiple accounts for the same IM service, all buddies from all
 of my accounts from that same IM service are added to all other accounts.
 I realize that this is somewhat difficult in deciding which IM account to
 add an evo contact to.  Perhaps some kind of "you have multiple jabber
 accounts, which account would you like to add the jabber contact foo at bar
 to?" confirmation is possible.

 Or a matrix perhaps with my IM accounts on one axis and buddies to be
 added to that IM service on the other axis and checkboxes at the
 intersections so I can just click all of the IM accounts I want to see the
 buddies in and then OK/Apply.
