Description Martin Stolpe 2012-04-09 17:42:56 UTC

Hello,

when I type in names in the "To" field "New Message" dialog the autocompletions for names doesn't work for me.

Here are the steps I took to setup kmail/kaddressbok:

In kaddressbook:
- "File" -> "New" -> "Add Address Book..." -> "Personal Contacts" -> OK
- set the location of the address book to "/home/martin/.local/share/contacts/"
- added some contacts

In kmail:
- In "Settings" -> "Configure KMail..." -> "Composer" -> "Configure Completions Order..." I made sure that my address book is listed

In "System Settings" -> "Personal Information" -> "Akonadi Resources Configuration" I see a green light for my personal contacts.


Best regards
Martin

I encounter the same problem, using Ubuntu (Unity Desktop) with KMail 4.8.4

Comment 3 Christian 2012-08-02 19:18:05 UTC

Same problem here. Autocompletion only suggests the names from the "Recently used addresses". It doesn't suggest anything based on the address book. (But the Tools>Select recipients" list shows the Contact names from the address book.)

I have updated to 4.9.0 and it seems that this release has a fix for this feature included. At least this feature is working for me now.

Can anybody confirm?

I also updated to KDE 4.9.0 (kubuntu packages). I use two CardDAV address book, and one google ressource.

Address completion is now quite random for me. Some names ("Daniel Greb", "Ahmet Inan") are always completed properly after entering a few letter. Some other names from the same addressbook ("Thomas Peternell") are never found, no matter how many letters I type.

No, completion from the address book does not work for me on KDE 4.9.1 (openSUSE).
