There ist a functionality which helps in some scenarios described by the people above. The adressbooks which are used in kmail are not set in kmail/kadressbook/akonadi like expected but in "Personal Information" in systemsettings. There you can set which contact-ressources are used generally and also in kmail for adress completion. There you can set single adress books or you can add the akonadi-ressource which adds all adressbooks registered in akonadi.
Now, all adresses are shown which are defined in kadressbook because kadressbook also shows all adressbooks registered in akonadi. See: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220608 Suggestion for Kubuntu default installation: As Akonadi is used by default in kadressbook which is for the normal user "the adressbook", the default setting for standard-contacts in "personal information" should also be the akonadi-ressource and not the old standard-adressbook ** Bug watch added: KDE Bug Tracking System #220608 http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220608 -- kmail problems with kaddressbook - what is used for autocomplete, how to edit it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/643248 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdepim in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
