Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.2) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc-3.3.5 OS: Linux I am using the "add to addressbook" feature in kmail (view a mail message, then right click the sender's address -> add to addressbook). When using IMAP addressbook via KMail, the "add to addressbook" does not work, although I can add contacts to the addressbook the normal way (manually) in KAdressbook. Using Kontact 1.0.2, KMail 1.7.2, KAdressbook 3.3.2
A message box pops up saying "Error - Kontact - cannot save to addressbook."

I am very sure the kmail imap connection works because I can read my email. I'll make an update to kde3.4 as soon as gentoo declares it stable. This is an ls -laR of the kabc-directory, I can't see any lockfiles at first glance: total 48 drwx--S--- 6 basti basti 4096 Apr 12 20:10 ./ drwx--S--- 40 basti basti 4096 Apr 12 20:21 ../ drwx--S--- 2 basti basti 4096 Apr 12 20:10 lock/ drwx--S--- 2 basti basti 4096 Apr 12 20:10 logos/ drwx--S--- 2 basti basti 4096 Apr 12 20:10 photos/ drwx--S--- 2 basti basti 4096 Apr 12 20:10 sounds/ -rw-r--r-- 1 basti basti 0 Apr 12 20:10 std.vcf -rw-r--r-- 1 basti basti 3751 Apr 11 18:42 std.vcf_1 -rw-r--r-- 1 basti basti 0 Apr 12 20:10 std.vcf_2 -rw-r--r-- 1 basti basti 3619 Dec 22 18:16 std.vcf_3 -rw-r--r-- 1 basti basti 3751 Dec 30 19:41 std.vcf_4 -rw-r--r-- 1 basti basti 3751 Dec 31 23:19 std.vcf_5 -rw-r--r-- 1 basti basti 3619 Dec 18 18:57 std.vcf_6 -rw-r--r-- 1 basti basti 3751 Apr 10 20:12 std.vcf_7 ./lock: total 8 drwx--S--- 2 basti basti 4096 Apr 12 20:10 ./ drwx--S--- 6 basti basti 4096 Apr 12 20:10 ../ ./logos: total 8 drwx--S--- 2 basti basti 4096 Apr 12 20:10 ./ drwx--S--- 6 basti basti 4096 Apr 12 20:10 ../ ./photos: total 8 drwx--S--- 2 basti basti 4096 Apr 12 20:10 ./ drwx--S--- 6 basti basti 4096 Apr 12 20:10 ../ ./sounds: total 8 drwx--S--- 2 basti basti 4096 Apr 12 20:10 ./ drwx--S--- 6 basti basti 4096 Apr 12 20:10 ../
Add to addressbook is still not possible in KDE 3.4. There are two differences to 3.3.2: - there is no errormessage now, but nevertheless there is no entry added to the addressbook - I am using disconnected IMAP now, because with kde 3.4 and online IMAP the addressbook does not work at all (see bug #103747)
Hi, could you try cvs head, please? We commited a patch some weeks ago which might have fixed it. Ciao, Tobias
Can you please update to a newer release of KDE ( 3.4.2 is the latest at this time) and verify that you still have a problem ?
Feedback timeout. Please reopen if the problem still exists in KDE 3.5
I've got EXACTLY the same problem using KDE 3.5.8 with a pop account! how can I fix it?
Theresa did not set this bug to reopen, so I do.
Works just fine for me in KDE 4.1.2.
The development of the old KAddressBook will be discontinued for KDE 4.4. Since the new application has the same name, but a completly new code base we close all bug reports against the old version and ask the submitters to resend there reports against the new product.
