<p style=" margin-top:12px; margin-bottom:12px; margin-left:40px; margin-right:40px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;"><a name="post_message_2625752"></a>I am using Suse 13.1, and have updated to KDE4.12.2, Kontact 4.12.2 and its components. I have previously raised problems with creating mail distribution lists (or groups in KDE4 terminology) a few times on the opensuse forums.. I did post this query agaain at opensuse forums, and received advice that this may be a better place to pose the questions. So apologies if you have already seen this post on those forums.<br /><br />Since the upgrade to Kontact 4.12.2 I have succeeded with creating various Groups to receive emails within the standard personal addressbook. This has worked well for our needs and in particular for a number of committees tht my wife is involved with.<br /><br />This year I have also successfully installed owncloud v6.1 on a spare computer within the home network and use that to synchronise our calendars as well as the usual range of photos, files, etc. Generally this is working well with a few beginning hiccups.<br /><br />In OwnCloud opened the standard "Contacts" addressbook and imported a vcf file with a list of my contacts to test it out, this was without any of the Groups from the KDE personall addressbook. I then added the owncloud Contacts as a new addressbook to Kontacts- 4.12.2 on my main computer. That synchronised OK so I can access that addressbook from any networked pc or my android devices.</p>
<p style=" margin-top:12px; margin-bottom:12px; margin-left:40px; margin-right:40px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"><br />I do have a problem with addressbooks/contacts/groups, however ! </p>
<p style=" margin-top:12px; margin-bottom:12px; margin-left:40px; margin-right:40px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"><br />The first problem is that on my main PC I can create or edit a Group in my personal addressbook, but If I access the "Ownclouds Contacts" addressbook The "NewGroups" toolbar or menu selection is greyed out or not available, in KDE. Go to a personal addressbook in thelist of addressbooks, and I have the "New Groups"option available..<br /><br />1. Can anyone advise on how to get the "New Group" function working in Kontacts 4.12.2 for the extra addressbook(s) from Owncloud 6 ?<br /><br />2. Can anyone advise on how to directly add the KDE4 "Personal Addressbook" into Owncloud as a second contact list, including "Groups"?<br /><br />3. Is there a way in which I could reliably extract a "Group & its list of email details" from the personal addressbook, and import it into Owncloud Contacts, such that it may reliably sync to other computers and devices. The need being to reliably send a group email from pc, phone, or tablet.<br /><br /><br />Thanks for any help here<br />John </p>
