Ok, then you are using the native resource, that's good :)

I'd propose the following: copy one of the std.vcf_X files that contains all
contacts to $HOME. Then remove the std.vcf resource from KAddressBook (right
click on the folder -> Remove Address Book). Then add a new address book, this
time of type 'Personal Contacts'. When this address book is available, import
your $HOME/std.vcf_X into KAddressBook via the 'File -> Import -> vCard'
option.
The 'Personal Contacts' address book has multiple advantages, it is faster and
can store contact groups. By the way, the Akonadi 'database' is just a cache,
the real data are still saved in vCard files on the files system. The 'Personal
Contacts' address book for examples saves each contact in its own file under
~/.local/share/contacts/ (or some other directory you let point it to).

Ciao,
Tobias
