Thanks very much for your response.

I probably did not explain my setup clearly.
I collect email on my desktop from 3 public mail servers (such as gmail).
I run dovecot on the desktop,
which allows me to read the email (with kmail) on my laptop.

So I suppose I am running a mail server in some sense on my desktop.
But I don't accept email on the desktop from outside my system,
which is what I would normally think of as characterising a mail server.

I'm not sure how one tells if KAddressBook is "akonadi-controlled".
In any case, File=>New=>New Group in KAddressBook is greyed out.
(I don't see Add a Group as an option anywhere.)

I notice I don't have the KAddressBook handbook or manual on my system,
though I have yum-installed both kdepim and kdepim-devel .
(As I mentioned, my version of kdepim is 4.4.4-1 .)
