Hej,

please don't use the 'Address Book (traditional)' stuff anymore, it's only available for compatibility.
Use the 'Personal Contacts' address book instead.

Ciao,
Tobias

Hi Tobias :)

Well, thanks, I learned that the hard way. Though I don't see how that would make this bug "resolved" ;)

Is all development being focused on the Akonadi integration thing currently? I don't mean that question to be confrontational, I'm just wondering, and really hoping actually, as I really enjoy the flexibility and UI of Kontact and its components, and I'm hoping for it to become a reliable and valid option as a PIM.
