Description Martin Stolpe 2014-05-15 07:10:35 UTC

I've created an address group in my KAddressBook. When I enter the contact group in the recipient list the group isn't expanded anymore (this was working in an previous version).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a contact group in KAddressBook
2. enter the name of the contact group in the recpient list
Actual Results:  
get error message because the contact group list isn't expanded

Expected Results:  
expand contact group list

I can confirm that on Kubuntu 14.04 with KDE 4.13 and same KDEPIM version distribution lists are non functional. Yet again. 

Workaround: use "select" in composer window, expand your dist-list in question, select all recepients and add/cc/bcc them. Then it works

This affects me too.

Kubuntu 14.04 (64-bit)
KDE 4.13.1
KMail 4.13.1

Also, can confirm that the 'workaround' cited by Orion 2014-05-15 12:20:40 UTC works. But, autoexpansion of a Contact Group should 'just work' as it does in any other email program.

Comment 5 Laurent Montel 2014-05-27 12:37:59 UTC

I fixed contact group indexing in baloo 4.13.2
I added new unittest etc.
I hope that it will ok now.

Comment 6 Orion 2014-08-20 07:10:38 UTC

Sorry I should have commented. For me on Kubuntu 14.04 with KDE 4.14.3 this now works and bug is resolved.

Thanks a lot!

Kubuntu 14.10, KDE 4.14.1 not working (again/yet):

"The email address you entered is not valid because it does not contain a '.'. You will not create valid messages if you do not change your address."

Also I am not able to expand the group int the selection window, the only thing that works is adding the unexpanded group to the To:/Cc:/Bcc: fields which results in the above error message.

maybe check that your Identity is correctly configured? I am on Kubuntu 14.10 w KDE 4.14.2 myself and have no problems
