Any and all ideas, suggestions, would be most helpful. At this moment I cannot send out emails to my distribution lists and the backlog grows significanly.
I suggest that in the short term you revert your KDE PIM packages to 4.3.5.
"zypper in kdepim4=4.3.5-0.1.4" will do this for you currently, however the build number /may/ change, use "zypper se -s --match-exact kdepim4" to determine the current build number.
I am hammering on https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=223034 to get this bug addressed promptly.
Will Will,
While you're hammering... A friend of mine whom I converted to SuSE some time ago and KDE PIM circa 3.5.10 uses the "CUSTOM" fields in the Contacts portion of KMail/PIM/Contacts. Specifically, she uses the ROLE: field and has defined some custom fields like JOINED_DATE: ORIENTATION_DATE: MAILING_LIST and so on. She is still using that version but I am testing 4.4.1 of Kontact for her for possible upgrade. I have found that there is no way to edit the fields, nor use the data in those custom fields in her mailing lists programs. She has many thousands of customers/members in her business that she uses KMail and Kontact and a custom written mailing list program that can use the *.vcf fields maintained/exported by Kontact to control its' mailing of EMail to her customers and club members, which may be several thousand on any given mailing. The custom program sends / meters the rate at which she sends mail so that no single ISP is flooded with email at any time and mail is only sent to those that have requested mail previously. Her ISP used to limit her outbound send rate to so many per hour and so many per day and even that limit is accounted for in the program, but the custom fields in her Contacts list are important to her and it appears to me that while the fields seem to be in the *.vcf files that are imported (dont know if they stay there or not permanently but...), but for sure, Kontact's editor neither displays nor allows editing of these fields that were created in v3.5.10 and exported by that version. It would be somewhat imperitive for the new version of Kontact to maintain the ability to import and edit CUSTOM fields, ie, if the field is defined in an imported *.vcf file, it should be displayable and editable. Thanks for listening and I believe this to be the same 'hammer' as bug 223034.
