Description Ryan Sinn 2003-06-04 05:37:14 UTC 
Version:           0.6.2 (using KDE 3.1.2)
Installed from:     (testing/unstable)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3 (Debian)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20

When I delete a contact from the the Contacs [OSCAR protocol and ICQ contacts definatly incur this problem] the contact will reappear when they logout and log back in or when I restart Kopete.
Comment 1 Ryan Sinn 2003-06-04 05:38:54 UTC 
Choosing 'Save Contact List' after deleting unwanted contacts does not solve 
this issue.  Even after restarting Kopete.
Comment 2 Matt Rogers 2003-06-11 22:39:47 UTC 
This occurs because the contact list in Kopete is not synced with the contact list on the server.
Comment 3 Olivier Goffart 2003-08-05 11:19:46 UTC 
Even temporary contact are added to the server contactlist (AIM) 
so next connection, they appears back even if you didn't add them

should fix serverside deletion and renaming for most cases

The problem with modifying the serverside-list is caused by and old-design
flaw. The groupID for a certain contact is unknown. As a workaround I know
search in the OSCAR grouplist for the group "by name" and assume that#s the
right group of that contact.
It should work fine as long as the ICQ contact is in the same Group on both the
Server and in Kopete
Comment 5 Stefan Gehn 2003-09-06 21:23:31 UTC 
My patch is said to work as long as the group on server is the same.
Comment 6 Rudi 2004-03-22 09:44:14 UTC 
same with aim contacts in the kde 3.2.1 version. i delete a contact, choose save contact list from the menu, restart kopete, and TADAA - they're back.
Comment 7 Tibor Endredy 2004-05-24 12:13:52 UTC 
same in the kde 3.2.2 version with kopete 0.8.2. I delete a (buddy) contact (for example msn) and the msn account immediately goes offline and reconnects automatically, and the deleted contact is there again. Annoying :(
