Hi,

thanks Dan for your reply. I'll try that.

Hmm, I'd like to search through all address books. Is there a way to
express that as Collection?

You said that the is not guaranteed to be unique. Does that mean that
there could be two contacts with the same GID, or that there could be an
email and a contact with the same GID?

And, this solution is backward compatible, ie. works with previous KDE
versions as well, right?

Thanks,

Klaas
