Comment 1 for bug 542104

You lucky one got the converter started! Though it would be unnecessary if the default addressbook type would be set to akonadi, this is better than nothing. I got nothing, no converter on my installs. Kmail just didn't find the entries I made in kaddressbook after installation. No hint at all why. But the behaviour described by you and the behaviour described by me obviously have the same culprit. So the default addressbook type really should be an akonadi resource, and if it is just to not cause newbies headaches on trying to find out why their contacts are not accessible when they want to write a new mail.
