Now all my contacts (in KAddressbook / Kontact) are gone... The contacts were stored in an IMAP account (in Kolab format). I opened the Akonadi configuration and added my IMAP account as Akonadi Imap resource, but the contacts don't appear. I tried "add addressbook" in Kontact but there the IMAP resource is not listed. A "Kolab" resource is listet there but is grayed out an I cannot select it. How ca I get my contacts again??? Really need them... Thanks for help, Christoph

When I start Kontact, the Akonadi Server Self-Test reports errors: Test 4: ERROR -------- MySQL server log contains errors.

He said the following: Code: Select all `In akonadiconsole, they should add a "KDE Address Book (traditional)" (or in kaddressbook you can do the same, I guess) the KDE Address Book means you can set up old kresources for Akonadi. and in the configuration of "KDE Address Book (traditional)", you point it to an "IMAP over KMail" KResource and in KMail, the groupware options should be enabled. Then it should work.` @SnowHog: your issue is different, please create a new topic. KDE Sysadmin [img]content/bcooksley_sig.png[/img]

You need to talk to someone who understands it. I'd suggest that you set up konversation (really easy) then join #akonadi and ask there. I'm pretty sure that someone would be able to help you. I honestly don't know whether it behaves like any other addressbook or not. @Snowhog: it isn't clear whether you had akonadi running before the upgrade. Anyway, all the problems and solutions that I've come across are documented at http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi#Common_Problems - I would highly recommend that you clean out the nepomuk database as instructed there, but some of the other tips may be useful to you. annew, proud to be a member of KDE forums since 2008-Oct and a KDE user since 2002.

nicoechaniz Registered Member Posts 1 Karma 0	Re: KDE 4.4 Kontact: No more contacts in address book Thu Feb 18, 2010 6:21 am Running akonadiconsole and clicking on Syncronize for the Default Addressbook automatically imported to that addressbook the data from my .local/share/contacts/ folder which holds all the vcf files. You can also open Kaddressbook, add an address book and select "Personal Contacts", which will import data from the aforementioned folder. This is on Gentoo ~x86, KDE 4.4.
