I am trying to get KAddressBook and KMail working together, but in spite of lack of documentation there are problems I can not overcome. Any help is appreciated.
First thing are contact groups. In KAddressBook I can create new contact group (Ctrl+Shift+G), but drop-down list at top (labeled "Add to:") is empty. When I click "OK", new window pops up, titled "Select Adress Book". Unfortunately, it is empty, so I can not select any Address Book. I have three Address Books in KAddressBook. One is named "Default Address Book" and I have no idea where it does keep it's data. Second is VCard dir and third is VCard file. If there is something wrong in that setup, I can switch these to something other (there are maybe 30 contacts at all). I have managed to create Contact Group by composing mail in KMail, adding some contacts and selecting "Save List". I have saved it in one of my Address Books. Yet I want to add some more contacts to that list. In KAddressBook I select that list and choose "Edit Group". New window pops up. On bottom of list there is empty contact, so I choose it and input name of contact. It autocompletes it with contacts from my address books, so it is fine. It automatically assigns e-mail address as well. But contacts that were in that group from the beginning has colorful icon and I can manually change their e-mail addresses. Contacts added later has dim icons and their e-mail address has to be selected from drop-down list. I am attaching screenshot showing that. It wouldn't be an issue, if KMail could retrieve contacts added later. Now when I compose new e-mail, I choose "Select..." in KMail, select "Distribution Lists" and choose my group. There are 13 addresses total, but three (that were added later, that has dim icon) are empty. There is no name or e-mail. Rest (that were from the beginning, that has colorful icon) is alright. That issue makes contacts groups quite unusable. Maybe someone could please explain me, how am I supposed to set it up correctly? I can do it manually if I have to, but I have no idea which file should I modify. Now the second issue. As I said, I have three address books in KAddressBook. But in KMail in "Select..." window I have drop-down list labeled "Address book" which shows only "Akonadi address book" with all contacts from all three address books in one list. This makes creating different address books useless, since they are in Kmail all merged into one big book. I would expect it to display only contacts from one of these address books (which should be selectable from drop-down list). In System Settings -> Personal information I have "Akonadi address book" with type of Akonadi. It is the only source of my contacts. When I select it and click "Edit", I can see my three address books. I hope that I have provided all information necessary. If you need anything more, please tell me.
