I think this *might* be wgat you are looking for /home/okage/.kde2/share/apps/kmail/addressbook

IF you go to that location you *should* find a file called *addressbook* !!!! ( and it had all hte things I put in mine to test it ( I dont use addressbooks, unless I have to do a mass mailing to , oh ... every soldier,sailor, airman that has EVER served ( Honorably , tho that *might not be totally necessery ) <g> I just dont like all that info lying about ... and am still considering *some sort of * encryption scheme..

hope this helps
