Yes, that's how it works - same kind of stuff in a different place. |

There is something you must completely understand about current kdepim, |
| 29 |
if you don't realize this you will suffer endless pain: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
The developers are trying to be cute and clever and show off how l33t |
| 32 |
they are. As a result, they break things. Badly. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
As an example, there are warnings in .local.share/akonadi/ that you |
| 35 |
must not manipulate a certain directory manually, as it is managed by |
| 36 |
akonadi. It is totally possible that you made manual changes |
| 37 |
(reasonable thing to do actually) and that F5 refreshes the address list |
| 38 |
from whatever magic bullshit mechanism akonadi has going and just |
| 39 |
trashed the address list changes you made. Yes, those devs have done |
| 40 |
insane things of that order and released that code. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
I'm not saying this is your problem or even that it still is that way - |
| 43 |
I haven't used kdepim since version 4.4 when I spotted it was a classic |
| 44 |
"second big project". As with all things, do your homework, see if the |
| 45 |
code suits your needs, ymmv. |
