Re: [opensuse] Where have categories gone in Address Book?

I encountered this a few months ago while running Factory and upgrading to KDE
4.4. In short, KAddressbook is in the midst of a transition dependent upon
Akonadi. Completion is scheduled for 4.5. The data is all still there, but
the structure has changed, making it inaccessible for now.

Needless to say, this has upset a lot of people. The only solution I found is
to manually pull out this piece from Kontact and replace just it with 4.3.5.
Fwiw, Fedora and Kubuntu have the same issue.

The details are here (along with a few temper tantrums), including the tarball
replacement with instructions:

I've just upgraded to oS 11.3 + KDE4.4. I use Kontact for e-mail, addresses
etc. and I've got several mail lists set up based on categories. These mail
lists are still available in Kmail, but I cannot find how to add a category
to
a person's entry in the new look Address Book.

Has it gone, or am I looking in the wrong place?

Or is there another way to select contacts to add to a mail list?

Bob
