[Bug 246577] kmail does not look up address book
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=246577 --- Comment #4 from Ralph Moenchmeyer rm anracon de 2010-08-30 13:34:53 --- (In reply to comment #3) Sorry, if my comments have confused you even more. You are right - I am not a KDE developer, but, yes, I haved used KDE, Kontact and Kmail for years. Let me try to clarify some of the confusion: There is always a systemsettings for KDE 4. Just type systemsettings at your prompt in a terminal window. You can find it in the KDE menu or SUSE's menu, too. Regarding the point Personal Information, which you could not find under your systemsettings: The structure of KDE's systemsettings has been changed from KDE 4.4 to KDE 4.5. If you have an unmodified Opensuse 11.3 implementation than you probably have KDE 4.4.4 and not KDE 4.5. However, my last comments to bug 220608 referred to KDE 4.5 - as I stated in the beginning of the comments. So you probably see a different (older) version of the systemsettings window than I do. For KDE 4.4.3 you are right and the correct place to eventuallly add some entries for adress book resources is: systemsettings Advanced KDE Resources. Sorry, for the confusion, but KDE changes so fast. I had no time to write down the differences in how to treat the Kmail problem for different KDE versions. Anyhow - if you set up (i.e. add) a traditional address book in Kontact first and after (!) that add it manually as a resource in the systemsettings of your KDE's version, then Kmail's adress completion will work for KDE 4.4 and KDE 4.5 under Opensuse 11.3 and Opensuse 11.2. Did you set up a traditional address book in Kontakt first? And is your Akonadi system running flawlessly? Please check ! I have implemented Opensuse 11.2 and Opensuse 11.3 now on 4 different systems (PCs, Laptops) with both local address books and server based address books. Address completion in Kmail worked after adding my address books first to Kontakt and then manually defined it as a KDE-resource via systemsettings. However, I agree completely: This juggling should not be necessary. Nevertheless, while the KDE developers work out a better solution, my workaround should be described more clearly and supplemented by some screenshots. I hope I find the time to do this during the next days ... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Kdepim-bugs mailing list Kdepim-bugs@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=246577 --- Comment #5 from Parameshwara Bhat peebhat gmail com 2010-08-30 15:46:18 --- Thanks again for the pains to explain in so much detail. First I was a little awed by your description.But when I opened 'KDE Resources',it had already listed 'default addressbook'. I chose to add one more,a new dialog came up with a suggested name.It also had a list for type of address book. I knew my address book will not be server based and vcard based, so I chose the only remaining option. Next login, address completion has started working. The setting up is not as difficult as it first seemed, one can just go with the flow and it will be set up. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Kdepim-bugs mailing list Kdepim-bugs@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs

I have been reading your updates to the bug-report.I guess you are a not a kmail developer,but a very advanced user of KDE. Your mails referred to configuring in 'systemsettings' in personal information,but I could not find any such thing.Today, I figured out it is sysyemsettings Advnaed KDE Resources.Your other description is also not very clear. That place is very confusing again.I could find 'default address book' entry there,but went on to add one more per your suggestion.Now address completion seems to work. I think if you are not a kmail developer, you should not close this.Address book functionality should be equal in feature or better and use of ease with other standard mail clients like Evolution,Thunderbird,outlook.This juggling should be unnecessary. It is not about getting it to work for you and me.It is about bringing this to Kmail-developer's attention and getting it addressed there. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Kdepim-bugs mailing list Kdepim-bugs@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs
