Version: (using KDE 3.5.9) Installed from: SuSE RPMs In the latest kdepim packages for (at least) openSUSE and Ubuntu, the IMAP groupware function is broken: The configuration in ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc has to be manually adapted: Previously, the following has worked fine for me: [IMAP Resource] TheIMAPResourceEnabled=true TheIMAPResourceFolderParent=<accoundID for cachedIMAP> Now, I need this, to make it work: [IMAP Resource] HideGroupwareFolders=false TheIMAPResourceAccount=<accoundID for cachedIMAP> TheIMAPResourceEnabled=true TheIMAPResourceFolderParent=<accoundID for cachedIMAP> Unfortunately, kaddressbook has a severe encoding problem, then. All umlauts are displayed as two squares, and later after reloading from the server, as ??. Since I am German, there are many many entries a mess now. It also doesn't help to reimport the contacts with a different (i.e. not utf8) encoding: * recoding a healthy backup VCF to e.g. iso8859-15 * deleting all contacts * syncing this to the server * importing the VCF ==> bam, all umlauts broken again. It seems that kaddressbook is incapable of any encodings at all, only ASCII works. See here, too: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdepim/+bug/139433 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=398285
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.
