Regarding this bug (220608 ) and Bug 246577: 

Earlier today, I installed Opensuse 11.3 with KDE 4.5 on my working desktop. As
expected (see commment #4) I could get a "traditional" address book working
together with Kmail. In my case it is an Open-Xchange address book, but
everything should work with other "traditional" address books, too. What I did: 

1) Step 1: Setup a "traditional" address book in Kontact's adress book area. 

2) Step 2 (!): Open KDE's systemsettings. Go to "Personal Information" (KDE
ressources) and add an address book entry there with exactly the same
information as in step 1.

(Why step 1 does not automatically lead to an entry here is a big mystery to
me. In case of calendars an entry appears without further manual actions  ...)  

3) Step 3: Log out, restart KDE, restart Kmail. 

4) Step 4: Verify that the address book is now an Akonadi resource, too.      

5) Step 5: Open Kontact - open Kmail: Compose a new mail and enjoy using the
automatic address completion.

Hope that helps for others.
