Description Sabine Faure 2009-08-30 23:34:22 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.2 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

- Configure Akonadi with an IMAP and Kolab resource.
- Launch Kaddressbook
- Go to menu File/New/Add Address Book...
- Select the 'Distribution List File' feature in the 'Add Address Book' dialogue
- Select a location, enter a new file name (ex:DistListTest) and click 'Ok'
- The 'DistListTest' distribution list is now listed in Kaddressbook's 'Address Books' column.
- Select it and click on the 'New Contact' button
- In the 'Add to:' combo box you cannot select 'DistListTest' since it is not there.

So it is impossible to create a new Contact in a newly created distribution list at the moment.

Hej Sabine,

works fine here. Could it be that your resource is marked as read-only?
In this case you can't store items in it and therefor the address book
is not listed in the 'Add to:' combo box.

Ciao,
Tobias

No if I go to the Akonadi Configuration dialogue and click on DistListTest I can see in the 'Select Distribution List' dialogue that the 'Read Only' option is not checked.
However, I can also see that DistListTest has a green spot under it but no status (ex: Ready, Offline...) after being created.
But after I click on the 'Ok' button of the 'Select Distribution List', 'Ready' has now appeared.
Could that be linked with the bug?

Also, if I go to the Akonadi console, select DistListTest and right click on the folder properties, in the ACL tab I can see that the Item Access Right are set for Create, Modify and Delete.

Hej Sabine,

I somehow misread this report the first time, of course you can't create
new contacts in the distribution list resource, because only contact groups
can be stored in this resource. The resource was meant as a technical toy to
test the contact groups. I'll remove this resource now in favor of the
'Personal Contacts' resource which can store contacts and contact groups.

Ciao,
Tobias

I see.

Note: you have not removed the 'Distribution List File' resource yet

Comment 5 Sabine Faure 2009-10-09 20:19:38 UTC

I retested this and the 'Distribution List File' resource has been removed from the 'Add Address Book' dialogue.

So I am closing this bug since it is invalid.
