I see that another bug for Opensuse 11.3, KDE 4.4, Kmail and the adressbook is
marked as a duplicate of this bug. 

I ran into a similar situation with Opensuse 11.2 some month ago, but : 

As soon as one configures the address resources correctly Kmail will work as
expected - including the address completion. So regarding at least Opensuse
11.2 and KDE 4.4.4 there is no real bug. 

Conventional adressbooks do work - e.g. local adressbooks, external address
books from an Open-Xchange server - but they have to be configured correctly. 

As the KDE version I use for Opensuse 11.2 is the same as the stable one used
in Opensuse 11.3 I doubt that there are real problems with Opensuse 11.3. 
I have installed it on a laptop - and I do not see any problem with a local
conventional address book and address completion. 

I think that it is more the general confusion around the special Akonadi based
adressbook and conventional adressbooks that makes people think that Kmail is
not working. 

So, if there are problems with Opensuse it is very likely that they are more a
matter of setting up conventional adressbooks correctly. 

I will soon switch to an Opensuse 11.3 installation on my standard productive
desktop. If I do not see a problem there I think this "bug" can be closed. I
will post a comment then. 

However, a clear description how to set up adressbooks with Kmail should be
written and placed in some KDE help section or tutorial.
