As the cache is only loaded once on startup there are some situations where deleted contacts will still Open a kpeople enabled app Delete an Account contacts from that account will be listed Open a kpeople enabled app delete a contact via another computer the contact will still be in the cache till you reconnect and then restart. Given these contacts will always be shown as offline it's not a major issue but it does need some work. Ideally we need similar logic to the kded-module. I do _not_ however want to duplicate this complex code in 3 places and would rather see GlobalContactManager extended to actually cover all the use cases. (in fact I regret not forcing that in the KDED rewrite).

Dear user, unfortunately Telepathy is no longer maintained. Please migrate to another solution, e.g. for Jabber a possibility is Kaidan, for Matrix a candidate is NeoChat.
