It gives the following error: Unable to open address book. This address book cannot be opened. This either means that an incorrect URI was entered, or the server is unreachable.

Thanks for a bug report. Which one is this about, the EWS GAL or the MAPI GAL? If it's the EWS, then what does happen if you go to Edit->Preferecens->Mail Account-><ews account>->Edit->Receiving options tab, and you click "Fetch URL", will the OAB URL change in the dialog?
It's EWS unfortunately, I would prefer to use MAPI but it doesn't work out of the office due to no HTTP proxy support as yet. When I ask it to fetch the URL it fills in the fields, standard mail/contacts work although there doesn't appear to be a calendar, not sure if it's related or not.
EWS' GAL is independent from the other stuff, it is downloaded as the Offline Address Book (OAB), and then users can search it it (currently only search, and only by email, which is sufficient for usual lookups when writing an email, but otherwise...). Anyway, I would try this: a) disable ews account b) stop evolution and all its factories (basically: ps ax | grep evolution) c) remove all ~/.cache/evolution/addressbook/ews* fodlers d) run addressbook factory with ews debugging, like this: $ EWS_DEBUG=2 /usr/libexec/evolution-addressbook-factory -w e) run evolution f) go to preferences, of the ews account, and fetch URL again (just in case) g) click OK and enable ews account h) wait till the initial fetch of folders is done i) then switch to contacts and select the GAL j) change search typo to "Email begins with" and search for something k) check output on the addressbook factory terminal, especially if you still get an error On the other hand, maybe this is related to bug #807911
Sorry, I've been away, I'll review and retest soon.
Will we see, in a future release, the address-book "itself"?
(In reply to comment #5) > Will we see, in a future release, the address-book "itself"? I'm not sure what you mean, I'm sorry. For example, if I have entered "OAB URL" (which was autocompleted by "Fetch URL" button), then I see global address list entries, when searching with "Email contains" (or composing email). With Exchange 2010 servers I can also fetch GAL for offline usage (this feature (on the Receiving Options tab) didn't work for me with my Exchange 2007 server.
Seems I have similar issue, but instead of GDBus erros I have info that Authentication is Required (but no prompt for password or reuse of existing one from EWS account). If I paste OAB url into web browser then I can view whole XML file (after authentication via webmail). I've tried to start also EWS_DEBUG=2 /usr/libexec/evolution-addressbook-factory -w, but nothing intrested in output: [aflinta@0708NOT01371 addressbook]$ EWS_DEBUG=2 /usr/libexec/evolution-addressbook-factory -w EDataFactory is now online.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
