Version: 1.13.3 (using 4.4.3 (KDE 4.4.3), Debian packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.33.3-aracne When i write an email and i try to put a name in the "to" field, the list of the names is... old... related to the kde 4.4 addressbook. If i add or update my contacts, those change will not be available in kmail. I think that is quite stupid honestly. The only purpose of an addressbook is being used by other applications. Now to send an email to someone i have to manually open the addressbook, search, copy the email address and paste into the to field of a new email.
Clicking on an e-mail address in kmail works, in kaddressbook also if no special characters like ü are in "Name". "Recently used addresses" work also. In konsole kmail URL works also but ü's are still a problem.
I don't see the link...
If you mean by the use of the "select" button, i think that it should work anyway typing the name directly in the field.
Created attachment 43563 [details] click e-mail address in Message preview pane
Created attachment 43565 [details] part 2
Created attachment 43567 [details] part 3 - the "ü" problem, konsole -> kmail
Attachment 1 [details] and 3 good... i know it works if you do like that. But _maybe_ i don't have a previous email to click on? Problem is in attachment 2 [details], in the list of available addressbooks, there is the OLD-NON-AKONADI one but not the new one managed by akonadi.
I have the Akonadi "Default Address Book" set in Akonadi-Settings to "/home/hrd/Dokumente/addressbook.vcf" but KMail -> New > "Select..." > "Default Address Book" doesn't show anything yet: Not implemented yet, I guess ?
Not implemented something to chose the recipient... i think that's a basic feature for a mail client.
see Bug 203902: I synchronized the Akonadi "Default Address Book" in Comment #8 with systemsettings > Advanced > KDE Resources > Default Address Book and "the basic feature for a mail client" works again.
How is someone normal supposed to know that he has to do this very simple procedure manually? Can't kmail just use the same data that kaddressbook uses?
I experience the same issue. In kmail composer, only recently used email addresses are visible. Even if I click on the button right of the address line which takes me to the list, I can't even see any addressbooks... Possibly related issue: my groups don't work any longer since I upgraded to Lucid. All the entries in there are shown as non existing... So it could be that the reason behind all this actually is an akonadi issue (as usual...)
For me setting up an akonadi resource in systemsettings-kde resources did the trick. The problem seems to be that kmail does not have akonadi integration yet, which is easily forgotten...
this is a quite serious bug, i think a very few of people can know the workaround to this issue.
Hi! Same Problem with my KMail Version 1.13.3 1. Can anyone verify the behaviour? 2. What is the workaround? Go back to old addressbook and loose the new addresses in "Akonadi-Addressbook"? Sorry but this is not clear and should be cleared when dealing with addresses! Talking about severity: Addresses ARE of high importance for every user so please work on this issue with higher priority! And please tell us why this message remains in status "unconfirmed"! Thank you, Martin
for me the workaround was to edit kde-ressources in systemsettings and point to the same file I use in akonadi. The current version of kmail does not yet support akonadi, but still runs with the old system. As far as I know things should be fine somewhen in August or so when kde sc 4.5 comes out (actually a month or so later as the kde-pim people won't be ready with full akonadi support by then). So this bug should be fixed with the next upcoming version.
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=240070 is a duplicate of this issue.
i too have this issue. for me, i have no addresses show up in the compose window as i type except "recent addresses". while running 4.4.xx my akonadi failed to start and kmail and kaddressbook kept crashing b/c i had an nfs-home directory. (i confirmed it by running kde with local files and it worked perfectly). however, i recently updated to 4.5rc2 and the nfs-home issue seemed to be fixed. however as part of my attempts to fix the akonadi issue, i created a "vcarddir" address book and deleted the old kaddressbook data. hope this can get resolved for the official 4.5 release.
I have upgraded to 4.4.5 and I still have the problem but I have not done anything with the configuration of akonadi to try to fix it

Reporters: if you open "akonadiconsole" is the status of "Nepomuk contacts feeder" in the Agents tab "Indexing completed"? Anything else indicates that Nepomuk, used to provide email address autocompletion, is disabled, broken or misconfigured.
Yes, it says that in mine.

For me it says: Nepomuk not operational. I've disabled the desktop search and related stuff for privacy and security reasons. Akonadi is running: I have tray icon which says: Akonadi available The Akonadi server has been started and can be used now.
It shows "Nepomuk not operational" on my machine.
PS: searching for "nepomuk" in the process list gives me: 4018 ? Sl 0:01 /usr/bin/akonadi_nepomuk_contact_feeder --identifier akonadi_nepomuk_contact_feeder 4032 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/bin/nepomukserver
I shut down Akonadi, removed ~/.local/share/akonadi and restarted akonadi and nepomuk. Now it works.
Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report. KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2. We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
