Unfortunately not :-(
.evolution is not created, and even if I manually create it, nothing
happens.

That's the exact portion of code :

  filename =3D g_strdup_printf ("file:///%s/.evolution/addressbook/
local/",
                                g_get_home_dir ());
    on_this_computer =3D
      e_source_group_new ("On This Computer", filename);
    e_source_list_add_group (source_list, on_this_computer, -1);
    source =3D e_source_new ("Personal", "system");
    e_source_group_add_source (on_this_computer, source, -1);
                                                                           =
    =20
    e_source_list_sync (source_list, NULL);
    g_free (filename);

Actually, the source group and source appear when being listed, but
nothing is created in .evolution, and thus it is impossible to add
contacts.

Not either :(
