Description Tim Hutt 2005-11-12 14:56:11 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.3)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

kaddressbook doesn't seem to care about what vCards are actually on an imap server when you store address on it.

I used to have all my address on an imap server, then I reinstalled kde (lost kaddressbook's cache) and selected storage on the same server (the vCards are still there - I've checked) but it doesn't recognise them any more (not even any errors).

There seems to be no way to get it to actually *see* what is on the server. If I add a new contact it correctly adds a vCard, but then if I delete that from the server it never realises the contact has gone.

Can you please add a 'refresh list' action (preferably automatically) that actually downloads the Contacts folder from the IMAP server and updates the local cache with its contents?

Have you setup KMail correctly as well? KAddressBook uses KMail to
access the IMAP server, so when you haven't configured an IMAP account
it won't work...


Ciao,
Tobias

Of course. KMail works fine, and is using the IMAP server properly. I can even open the vCards in my Contacts folder if I have have the groupware folders shown.
Comment 3 Tim Hutt 2005-11-14 14:34:28 UTC
In fact, I just discovered that if I just open a vCard in my IMAP/Contacts folder and close it again without doing anything else, then KAddressBook somehow now recognises it.

There must be some cache thing that doesn't get updated properly.

Undoing automatic change to status NEW. Sorry for the noise.

Is this still a problem in KDE 4.3?
