(Since I don't have an addressbook either, I've given that case a lot
of thought too :)) At the moment, Decibel will still store the
contacts in Akonadi as text/directory entries, which I imagine will be
picked up by KAddressBook once it supports akonadi, but since decibel
uses its own collection to do this, I imagine it will show up as an
address book called "IM Contacts" or something similar.
