In my opinion this bug is solved now. 

Presently, I have KDE 4.4.1 installed on my Opensuse 11.2 (x86_64) system. It
again took me a while to remember and understand the very strange logic that
the "adressbook" for contacts in Kontact (version> 4.4) is now Akonadi based,
but that this "default adressbook" is not used at all by all the other Kontact
applications.  

The stupid thing is that Kmail's adressbook in several context menus is also
named "default adressbook" - but actually one needs another additional source
than the Akonadi based "default adressbook" to get Kmail working with adresses. 

By the way: Whoever had this splendid idea should get a prize for the best user
confusing act of the year !

But OK, after having "understood" the adressbook chaos again, I additionally
configured a standard adressbook based on an Open-Xchange server service. And
this adressbook now appears in Kmail and is working as expected. Including the
automatic adress completion ....

I did not really test other adressbook ressources. Can any one else confirm
that the problem is solved ?
