No, as it's already the only list there, there is no point in adding it again. KAddressBook works as a stand-alone program, the problem is I can't make KMail aware of what's done in KAddressBook. > > BTW, the distribution-lists are useless now as I can't edit them any > > more.

Hopefully we will have the migrator by > 4.5 at the latest. In fact it's really bad. I run several distribution lists, one with more than 200 members, one with almost 100 members and some with 40-50 members. I just can't wait until 4.5 is available sometime in the future. I have to do it manually. Furthermore any changes made in KAddressBook are _not_ available in KMail, see above. So there is no point in creating new Groups in KAddressBook as I can't use them in KMail anyhow. How can an upgrade like this be pushed? Jan -- Jan Simonson
