I in addition to traditional address books tried to get the (non-traditional)
Akonadi address book resource "Personal Contacts" to work with Kmail's address
auto completion in Opensuse 11.3/KDE 4.5. With success, too. 

The trick again is to modifiy KDE's systemsettings. 

Go to "Personal Information" (KDE ressources) and now add an address book entry
corresponding to an Akonadi resource (Akonadi address book). Then the KDE
system offers you a list of already present Akonadi resources. Choose "Personal
Contacts".

Restart KDE, restart Kmail. Then even the (pure) Akonadi contacts appear within
Kmail's address completion. 

Summary: 

Both Akonadi address books and traditional address books can be used with
Kmail, now. Provided these address book resources are (manually) configured via
systemsettings. 

So, there is no real bug anymore. However, some dialogs should be added to
Kontact such that the user is warned to activate newly added address books via
KDE's systemsettings - or these resource configuration steps should be carried
out automatically. 

It is the lack of integration between Kontact and KDE's systemsettings for
resources that presently is the problem for the user.
