Strange. Personal Contacts seems to be the default label for the migrated
addressbook. After talking to one of the developers I wrote up what he had
told me on
http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi_and_AddressBook#Examining_your_Resources
I'm not sure how that tallies with what you saw - does it help at all?
Still, the main thing is that you have it working now, although I'd love to
know the reason.

I'd have liked to have known the reason as well. However here's a bit more
weirdness... I just added the "Personal Contacts" and it appeared OK. And it
seemed to have synced my contacts just fine. Then I deleted my "Address Book"
and they both disappeared. Then added the "Personal Contacts" again and my
contacts appeared. I can save and delete just fine.
sigh.... "I soooo confused" :( :D
