I am puzzled by the following strange behavior in KMail:
To send an email to a known contact I clicked the "select" button in the message editor to select the address. In the case of this contact the inserted email address contained a typo, so I opened the addressbook proper and edited the email address. I then made another attempt at selecting the address via the "select" button. The address still had the old error even though the entry in the addressbook now contained the corrected email address!
I searched all files in my home directory for a string like the wrong address and found it existed in numerous std*.vcf files in .kde4/share/apps/kabc. I moved these to a different directory and tried again. Same behavior, and a subsequent check revealed that a new file "std.vcf" had been created in the kabc-directory.
I would have thought that all addresses would be held by one file which can be accessed both through the Kaddressbook part of Kontact and the "select" button (for quick access). However, this does not seem to be the case. Where can I look for the wrong entry in order to correct it? Which is the file holding the information for kaddressbook and which is the one that the select button looks in?
Try from the composer window, right click the "To:" line and look under "Edit recent addresses..."
Thanks, Don, I did as you suggested - no success. Right clicking the to-line does bring up the most recent addresses but for the contact in question it is the correct address (since I had eventually sent a message there with this correct address). The wrong address only appears in the drop-down list I get after clicking "select". brgds Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
