Sorry to keep harping on about this but I have just upgraded to KDEPIM 4.4.8 
and the problem remains. In fact, after the upgrade I closed kontact, shutdown 
akonadi, logoff/logon, restarted kontact and all my recent additions to the 
address book had vanished. This problem existed about one year ago and I 
posted about it. I can't remember what level KDEPIM was then but after the 
next upgrade the problem was fixed. Now, sometime during the last six months, 
the problem has got unfixed! I also tried adding a new entry to the LDAP 
database, restarted akonadi but the new entry did not appear in the 
addressbook. Obviously more than one client can update the LDAP server, so 
akonadi needs some option to synchronise with a back-end.

I assume KDEPIM 4.6 is just around the corner; has anyone verified LDAP 
support?

TIA
