            Bug ID: 316860
           Summary: Recent Addresses no longer appear in the Select
                    Recipient dialog
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.10.1
          Platform: Slackware Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: composer
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: darrella at hushmail.com

In a Compose window, after pressing the Select button, the Select Recipient
dialog no longer shows the list of Recent Addresses.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a Compose window.
2. Press the Select button.
3. Verify the Select Recipient dialog does not contain the list of Recent
Addresses.


Actual Results:  
The Select Recipient dialog does not include the Recent Addresses list.

Expected Results:  
The Select Recipient dialog should include the Recent Addresses list

This always worked in KMail1. A nominal work-around is using the type-ahead
feature in the To: text box, but users can't always remember an email address.

In the KMail1 Select Recipient dialog users saw something like this:

=====================
All
Default Address Book
Personal Contacts
Distribution Lists
Recent Addressess <- This does not appear
=====================

The KMail1 dialog had a button at the top to filter which list the user wanted.
The default was All, but the user could change the filter.

Not having the Recent Addresses list in the Select Recipient dialog is
cumbersome to non enterprise users who have no need for full scale contact
lists.

The Recent Addresses list is present as can be verified by using the type-ahead
feature or in Settings -> Composer -> General -> Edit Recent Addresses.

I suspect the regression occurred with the move to the akonadi backend. I'm
guessing the Select Recipient dialog is now expected to be populated only with
akonadi resources. The previous code for grabbing the Recent Addresses list
from the kmail2rc file was inadvertently forgotten.
