Two Address book entries, both point to ~/.local/share/contacts/

"Personal Contacts"

Sounds good. I did post a similar question in the KDE-PIM list and Ingo
Klocker said it may be because not everything is ported over to Akonadi
yet. Which begs the question, why make the changes to an app without making
sure the "fix" is ready? This is really what frustrates me about major
upgrades like this... I had a problem several years ago that required a
different email client for awhile, so I tried an app called Pronto, but
then they decided to make a change similar to what KDE-PIM is doing and
require a database. Fortunately, at that time, whatever problem I'd had
with KMail back then was resolved, but it's frustrating when major changes
like this are made and the changes to the app are not complete when the
update is released.
Yes, I saw that comment and didn't understand it. The thing is that (apart
from the missing distribution lists and some fields not yet visible)
kaddressbook works flawlessly here - I can even create a Group from the dialog
that asks if you want to create a distribution list from the addresses in a
mail. Sometimes the reason someone's having a problem is obvious, but
sometimes it's just impossible to guess.
OK - Personal Contacts is your akonadi controlled addressbook - assuming that
the migration went properly. Just check ~/.local/share/contacts/ and make
sure you can see records there - if you can, that's one thing eliminated.
I'm really struggling to think of something that we haven't already checked.
It seems unlikely to be a permissions thing, but I assume that you've already
checked that.
Just remind me, which versions of Fedora, KDE and Kontact are you using?
