Re: how to use addressbook from kmail

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Let's assume that one day we will be able to use addressbook entries in 
kmail... Now, if I make a contact group in addressbook, is it possible that 
when addressing an email to this group, kmail expands it immediately so that I 
can see who is actually on the list? To add a few more recipients if they are 
not in the group, or remove a few from the recipient list, if I want to skip 
them? This was the way pine/alpine worked, and it was really a nice and useful 
feature.

Apropos alpine: yesterday I have set up kmail to use my mailbox as a 
disconnected imap account. Now when I start alpine, it complains:

[>Can't initialize "{imap.server.com:993/ssl/user=username/novalidate-
cert}Addressbook" (invalid format)<]
[>First msg in "{imap.server.com:993/ssl/user=username/novalidate-
cert}Addressbook" should have "x-pine-addrbook" header<]
[Can't contact remote address book server, using cached copy]

Was it kmail that messed up my addressbook? If so, this is the final good-bye 
to kmail - I can't afford the risk of messing up my emails due to an unstable 
software. 
Any idea how to restore it?

Thanks
