It does NOT for me. I'm the one who started this thread! I just want 
KMail/KDEPIM to allow me to add entries to the address book and for them to 
come up when I enter them on the "to" line or search for them in the 
address book. Currently neither works. I'd like BOTH to work.

If anyone has any ideas on how to make it work, I'd really like to hear!
