OK - it sounds as though you may have somehow managed to by-pass the migration - the first thing is to find out whether you have any records in ~/.local/share/contacts. If you have, your records have been migrated. If not, I'll help you through getting your old records into a new akonadi- controlled addressbook. Be aware that nepomuk must be running - you can disable strigi if you find resource problems, though. You'll find lots of issues documented on these UserBase pages, but check the directory I mentioned first, and if you aren't sure which steps apply to you we should be able to sort it out, with that answer. http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi_4.4/Troubleshooting http://userbase.kde.org/KAddressBook http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi_and_AddressBook Anne -- KDE Community Working Group New to KDE Software? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
