At this point I feel I have found a kludge (exporting the addressbook to the "kabc" directory every time I have edited a contact) but the problem that the contacts between the two sources are not in synch obviously remains.
Any further ideas?
It looks like kmail is getting its contacts from one source while kaddressbook is using another. In the Resources tab of akonadi configuration, what do you have listed - specifically what type of resource is your akonadi contacts resource? "KDE traditional" or "Personal Contacts"? What file is it pointing to (click modify)?
Regards, Tejas Tejas,
I can't find anything like "Akonadi configuration". When I click on "Contacts" in Kontact I get the three panes with the list of address books in the left pane (only one in my case: "Default Address Book), the list of contacts in that address book in the middle, and the details of the selected contact in the right pane. If I right-click the address book name I get a context menu with, among other options, "Folder Properties" and "Address Book Properties". Choosing "Address Book Properties" I get a window with title "Select Address Book - Akonadi Resource". In this window I can define the file name for the address book, set the access rights ("read only") and enable/disable monitoring. Is this what you mean? It does not show anything like "KDE traditional" or "Personal Contacts". The file it points to is "~/.kde4/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf". As I have mentioned before, this file retained the wrong entry for one of the contacts even after I had corrected it in kaddressbook. I deleted it and exported the addressbook to that file to set it right. But hold on!! Just before sending this message off I have done another test: in the addressbook I edited one contact's email address and that change now appears correctly in the "select" list of kmai! Looks like it is in synch now. Thanks to all for your help! Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
