           Summary: Kmail (KDE 4.3.85) does not suggest/complete adresses
                    from (external) adress books for new mails
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.13.0
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: rm at anracon.de


Version:           1.13.0 (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I tried KDE 4.3.85 (4.4 beta2) from the Opensuse repositories on a Opensuse
11.2 system. 

Akonadi and Nepomuk are running. Nepomuk's backend is virtuoso. 

My main addressbook is a conventional Open-Xchange (OX) address book, which
works without any problems in KDE 4.3.4. 

I can set up the OX addressbook in Kontact 4.3.85, too. It is installed in
Kontact and is visible as a resource also in Akonadi. 

I can even search for addresses in the OX adress book - for any letter sequence
in the search field suggestions for possible completion of the address are
automatically and correctly displayed. Furthermore it is possible to save new
contacts on the OX server.   

However, in Kmail the situations is different. Here as a normal user one
expects address completion via suggestions. 
But, when you start writing a new mail and on e starts typing in one of the
address fields (e.g. the TO field) no suggestions for address completion
appear. No records from the OX address book nor suitable records from the
"Default Address Book" are displayed. 

I regard this as a major bug because it makes Kmail very uncomfortable to use. 

By the way : The same type of bug appeared in the initial releases of KDE 4.1.
Is address completion always one of the last steps during Kontact development ?
Or is the bug related to the introduction of Akonadi ?
