[Bug 643248] Re: kmail problems with kaddressbook - what is used for autocomplete, how to edit it

[Rafal-maj-it]

Work around / solution:
delete all address books in kaddressbook
stop akonadi - akonadictl  stop
remove all std.vcf* from ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc  etc
start akonadi - akonadictl  start

open kaddressbook
create a new book - simple VCF file.  Select file:  ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf

now the addresses that you put there (in example in kaddressbook) will be in fact visible and auto-completable in kmail, finally.
also from kmail now you can click on the address and click Add To Address book, and it will in fact work.

Amazing, eh?  All of the above was not working (first problems started
with kmail auto-completing some email address that was not visible in
kaddressbook somehow - so had to try to delete/recreate it).

Proposed ways to improve clarity here:
- write what exactly kaddressbook resources are used
- either make kmail cooperate with all resources other then the above std.vcf in default location - or if not possible for now - just make kmail always use std.vcf and remind user where the file is located / set kaddress book to always show this resource
