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?
