Does anybody understand, and use, KAddressBook with KMail?
I find KAddressBook completely incomprehensible. Eg
1. I have entered Anne Murphy as a new contact. I know it is there, because I see it if I Export my address book in CSV format. But I don't see it if I search for Anne, or Murphy. In fact I am unable to see any contacts in my address book.
I read in the KAddressBook handbook: "We can expect to see the data becoming visible again in the coming version releases."
Is that my problem? What exactly is the point of invisible data?
2. If I start a new message in KMail, and start to enter the To name, I never get auto-completion from the address book.
Have I not set up my address book properly? Or is there some initial step I am supposed to take?
Is nepomuk enabled?

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem but never bothered to try and debug it.
@Rex: In my case nepomuk is enabled but with file indexing service disabled.
cheers, Christos.

Thanks for your response. When I read it, I thought "That must be the solution", but in fact when I went to System Settings=>Desktop Search I was surprised to find that "Enable Nepomuk Semantic Desktop", "Enable Nepomuk File Indexer" and "Enable Email Indexer" are all enabled (ticked).
