Hi,

In fact, since I'm on Debian, I use Icedove. Icedove is a rebranding of 
Thunderbird (license pb discussion between with Mozilla fundation and 
Debian responsables).
I pushed a patch to have access to Icedove addressbook :
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=8d7e1a6e13008bd7d35896e676796196038f1105

Here are 2 threads about it :

About Evolution, I tested "Evolution local" on master, i didn't see any 
problem. But perhaps I missed something.
(I'm on Pc Debian x86-64).
