Hello Rex,

Ever since F16 Alfa became available I have been trying it out on a virtual 
machine. I have focused on kdepim with special attention to kmail/kaddressbook 
as I'm hoping to resolve my longstanding problems with using them for several 
maillists with many hundred addresses that I'm administering.

However, kaddressbook in F16 has crashed as soon as I have tried to add a new 
contact. I have tried with different settings for akonadi to no avail. I have 
followed the discussions on this list, which has been surprisingly quiet on this 
topic.

Today I tried kdepimlibs-4.7.2-2.fc16 from 
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates and suddenly it works! I even made a 
small group and tried to use it in kmail. That also works! It's not been 
possible since kaddressbook went akonadi.

Thank you very much for your effort!
Jan
