OK - any tests I can do, just shout.

That's interesting.  There was an existing resource, Address Book, which, up 
to now, was empty.  I accepted the default setting, 
/home/anne/.local/share/contacts/, and suddenly it was populated with *almost* 
the same set as the std.vcf addressbook.  I say 'almost' as it has at least 
one entry that isn't in the other one - and it's not a recent one.

I can see an entry for club members, and one in the new resource for club 
committee members, but since I can't see any details of any contacts, I can't 
tell whether the information exists or not.  I assume that details should show 
in the third, right-hand pane?

Image attached - that is called up to edit an existing contact.

OK, fine.  Are the existing category entries lost, though?  Will they all have 
to be re-entered?

Kdepim has been the organising light of my life for several years, so it's 
very important to me to help all I can to identify problems, and, hopefully, 
solve them.  Is there anything I can do to help you know what went wrong with 
the migration?
