Bug Description
Where kmail stores it's addresses for auto completion?
This is very confusing.
Config option in kmail just shows "Resource" (in the button to configure autocompletion order), which does not match any name of the address books in kaddressbook.
It seems std.vcf is used from kabc .kde folder - but just sometimes... now adding more contacts with emails does not make kmail use them in autocompletion.
Also in kaddress book there are like 5 different formats of address books, they can have subfolders of various formats, can be remote or local, synchronized, etc etc... wtf? People usually just need A one address book. That works well with kmail. That kmail can write into, and that kmail can use for autocompletion. Neither of this 2 functions work in my installation. Problems first started after migration to luci with some akonadi db troubles (few bugs reported there got resolved) and since then kmail have trouble using address book.
